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

Three (Korean: 쓰리; RR: Sseuri, Thai: อารมณ์ อาถรรพณ์ อาฆาต, Chinese: 三更; pinyin: Sāngēng) is a 2002 horror anthology film consisting of three segments by directors from three Southeast Asian and East Asian countries. The segments are, in order: Memories, directed by Kim Jee-woon (South Korea), The Wheel, directed by Nonzee Nimibutr (Thailand), and Going Home, directed by Peter Chan (Hong Kong). A sequel by different directors following the same concept, Three... Extremes, was released in 2004; it did not feature a Thai director, but a Japanese director instead. Although Three was not originally released in the United States, the success of its sequel led to the original's release under the title Three... Extremes II. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
