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.

The plot follows the eponymous Max (Linz) and his friends, who begins going to junior high school only to learn Max and his family will soon move elsewhere; Max resolves to get even with those who bully him and his friends before he leaves since he will not remain long enough to face discipline for anything he does. The film was released in the United States on October 5, 2001, by Buena Vista Pictures Distribution. It received mixed-to-negative reviews from critics and was a box-office bomb that only grossed $18.6 million against its $25 million budget. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
