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.

How it feels

This movie makes fun of The Da Vinci Code by taking its ideas to absurd extremes. A wild mystery unfolds as characters pursue ridiculous clues inspired by Norman Rockwell paintings.

What happens

The Norman Rockwell Code is a 2006 parody of the 2003 Dan Brown novel The Da Vinci Code and the 2006 film of the same name. The plot is ridiculously exaggerated in an attempt to mock the Da Vinci Code. The movie was listed on the June 2, 2006 issue of Entertainment Weekly's "The Must List." (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
