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
Eddie Izzard performs a stand-up comedy show at the Hammersmith Apollo. She talks about Bible stories like Noah's Ark and the birth of Jesus, as well as the Trojan War and the Royal Family, connecting them in a surreal way.

What happens
Glorious is English comedian Eddie Izzard's 1997 performance at the Hammersmith Apollo. The performance was released on VHS — and, later, DVD — and covers topics such as the siege of Troy, Noah's Ark, the British Royal Family, and the birth of baby Jesus. In many ways, the flow of topics follow from the Bible, starting with the beginning of time according to the Old Testament and ending with Armageddon according to the Book of Revelation, though they are covered in Izzard's usual surreal style.
