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

Avenging Angelo is a 2002 American action comedy film starring Sylvester Stallone (who also directed), Madeleine Stowe, and Anthony Quinn. The film follows bodyguard Frankie Delano (Stallone) who vows to protect Jennifer Allieghieri Barrett (Stowe) after her father, mafia kingpin Angelo Allieghieri (Quinn) is gunned down. The film was the second straight-to-video American release for Stallone after D-Tox (2002). Quinn was suffering from terminal throat cancer while Avenging Angelo was being filmed—and died before it was released. The film received mostly negative reviews from critics.
