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

These Things Take Time: The Story Of The Smiths è un documentario televisivo sulla band inglese The Smiths, andato in onda su ITV1, l'8 novembre 2002, in concomitanza con il 20º anniversario della prima performance live della band di Manchester. Il film contiene diverse interviste a Johnny Marr, Mike Joyce, Andy Rourke, Sandie Shaw, John Peel e molti altri personaggi legati alla band, oltre a performance inedite ed immagini di vari dietro le quinte della band in tour, a metà degli anni ottanta. Una serie di vari momenti chiave e di scene memorabili nella storia della band (anche per il rifiuto di Morrissey di apparire personalmente) sono stati ricostruiti in una versione a fumetti, attraverso l'uso di sequenze animate, tra cui: il primo incontro tra il cantante e Johnny Marr, dei backstage pre-concerto, ed il caso giudiziario che ha coinvolto gli stessi Morrissey e Marr, citati in giudizio dal batterista Mike Joyce, per una questione legata alle royalties della band.
