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.
How it feels
Two good-hearted but very dim friends from Rhode Island drive across the country to return a lost briefcase full of money to its owner in Aspen. They do not realize the money is a ransom payment, which leads to a series of bumbling misunderstandings.

What happens
Dumb and Dumber is a 1994 American road buddy comedy film directed by Peter Farrelly, who cowrote the screenplay with his brother Bobby and Bennett Yellin. It is the first installment in the Dumb and Dumber franchise. Starring Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels, it tells the story of Lloyd Christmas (Carrey) and Harry Dunne (Daniels), two dumb but well-meaning friends from Providence, Rhode Island, who set out on a cross-country road trip to Aspen, Colorado, to return a briefcase full of money to its owner, unaware it was left as a ransom. Lauren Holly, Karen Duffy, Mike Starr, Charles Rocket, and Teri Garr play supporting roles. The film was released by New Line Cinema on December 16, 1994. It received mixed reviews from critics, but was a commercial success, grossing $247.3 million against a $17 million budget. The success of Dumb and Dumber launched the career of the Farrelly brothers, established the range of the heretofore dramatically acclaimed Daniels as a gifted comedic actor and revitalized his Hollywood career, and solidified Carrey's reputation as one of the most prominent actors of the 1990s. It has since developed a cult following. The film also spawned an animated TV series, a 2003 prequel, and a 2014 sequel. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
