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.

Next Friday is a 2000 American stoner comedy film and the sequel to the 1995 film Friday. It is the first film to be produced by Ice Cube's film production company Cube Vision, and to be written by Cube himself. It was directed by Steve Carr (in his feature directorial debut) and stars Ice Cube, Mike Epps, John Witherspoon, Justin Pierce, Tamala Jones, Don Curry and Tommy "Tiny" Lister Jr. It is the second installment in the Friday series. It tells the story of Craig Jones as he goes to live with his uncle, who just won the lottery, and cousin in Rancho Cucamonga after the neighborhood bully Deebo escapes from prison. There, Craig contends with three criminal brothers known as the Joker Brothers. Next Friday was theatrically released by New Line Cinema on January 12, 2000, grossing $59.8 million worldwide against an $11 million budget. The film has received generally negative reviews from critics. A third film, titled Friday After Next, was released in November 2002. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
