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.

Jude Law and Jack Black play the film's leading men Graham and Miles, with Eli Wallach, Edward Burns, and Rufus Sewell playing supporting roles. The Holiday premiered in New York City on November 29, 2006, before it was released theatrically in the United States on December 8, 2006. It was distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing in the United States and Canada and by United International Pictures overseas.
