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

Last Man Standing is a 1996 American neo-Western action film written, produced and directed by Walter Hill. It stars Bruce Willis, Christopher Walken and Bruce Dern. The film is a remake of the 1961 Japanese film Yojimbo by Akira Kurosawa, relocated to the Prohibition-era American South. In the film, a mysterious gunman (Willis) arrives in a small town ruled by rivaling gangs, and sets up about playing them against each other. The film was released by New Line Cinema on September 20, 1996. It received mixed reviews and was a commercial disappointment. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
