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

Paul Mooney: Analyzing White America is a 2002 stand-up comedy film starring comedian Paul Mooney, with Joe Inscoe, Bridget Gethis, and Kate Fleckenstein featured in sitcom-like cut scenes between Mooney's regular stand-up routine. Among the topics covered are the September 11th terrorist attacks, the "N" word, interracial marriage, Jerry Springer, and white people being obsessed with wild animals to the point of being in danger or being killed. A 2006 reissue of the DVD features a bonus interview by producer/actor Tim Reid (WKRP in Cincinnati, Frank's Place). Analyzing White America was Mooney's first DVD release, followed by Know Your History: Jesus Is Black; So Was Cleopatra in 2006. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
