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

Runaway Bride is a 1999 American screwball romantic comedy film directed by Garry Marshall, and starring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere. The screenplay, written by Sara Parriott and Josann McGibbon, is about a reporter (Gere) who undertakes to write a story about a woman (Roberts) who has left a string of fiancés at the altar. The film marked the first re-teaming of Gere, Roberts, Marshall, and Hector Elizondo following 1990's Pretty Woman. Runaway Bride was released on July 30, 1999, by Paramount Pictures in the United States and Canada and by Buena Vista International through the Touchstone Pictures banner in international markets. Though the film received generally negative reviews from critics, it was a commercial success, grossing $309 million worldwide. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
