The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

All for the Winner (Chinese: 賭聖; lit. 'Saint of Gambling') is a 1990 Hong Kong comedy film, directed by Jeffrey Lau and Corey Yuen, and starring Stephen Chow. It was the first movie ever in Hong Kong to cross the HK$40 million (HK$41,326,156.00) mark in the Hong Kong box office. It was a parody of God of Gamblers (1989), and due to its success it spawned a sequel, God of Gamblers II (1990), which featured characters from the original God of Gamblers.
