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

Fun with Dick and Jane (stylized in marketing as Fun with Dick & Jane) is a 2005 American crime comedy film directed by Dean Parisot from a screenplay by Judd Apatow and Nicholas Stoller. A remake of the 1977 film of the same name, the film stars Jim Carrey and Téa Leoni as a married, middle-class couple who, after the husband's employer goes bankrupt, struggle to maintain jobs before eventually resorting to robberies. Alec Baldwin and Richard Jenkins also star, and James Whitmore appears in an uncredited cameo in one of his final roles. Fun with Dick and Jane was released by Sony Pictures Releasing through its Columbia Pictures label on December 21, 2005, and grossed over $204 million worldwide at the box office. The film received mixed reviews from critics. It was the third collaboration between Carrey and producer Brian Grazer, after Liar Liar (1997) and How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000).
