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

Gawa Na ang Bala para sa Akin (lit. 'The Bullet for Me Has Already Been Made') is a 1989 Filipino comedy film directed by Efren M. Jarlego and starring Vic Sotto, Monica Herrera, Panchito, Nova Villa, Paquito Diaz, Ruel Vernal, Larry Silva, and Rene Requiestas. It is Sotto's first solo lead role in a film, as his previous film roles were as part of the comedy trio of Tito, Vic and Joey. The film's title is in reference to the 1988 action film Gawa Na ang Bala Na Papatay sa Iyo (lit. 'The Bullet That Will Kill You Has Been Made'). Produced by Regal Film, the film was released on October 25, 1989, and was a box office hit, earning ₱24 million in Metro Manila alone. Critic Justino Dormiendo of the National Midweek gave the film a negative review, criticizing its formulaic writing, acting and disgusting humor. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
