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

Lies My Mother Told Me is a 2005 Canadian drama television film directed by Christian Duguay, written by Matt Dorff, and starring Joely Richardson, Hayden Panettiere, Kailin See, Tim Henry and Colm Feore. The film is loosely based on the true story of the murder of Larry McNabney by his wife, Elisa McNabney, with the help of college student Sarah Dutra. Elisa fled to Florida, where she was eventually caught. Two weeks later, she hanged herself in her jail cell while awaiting extradition to California. The film aired on Lifetime in the United States on March 7, 2005. Duguay was nominated for the Gemini Award for Best Direction in a Dramatic Program or Mini-Series. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
