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.

What happens

R.E.M. Live is a live album from R.E.M., recorded at the Point Theatre, Dublin, Ireland, on February 26 and 27, 2005, the closing nights of the winter European leg of the Around the World Tour in support of their thirteenth studio album Around the Sun, released in late 2004. It was released in the United Kingdom on October 15, 2007, and in the United States a day later as a two-CD audio set and a DVD, then released in February 2008 as a triple vinyl set. The performance was filmed by Blue Leach, who also directed Depeche Mode's Touring the Angel: Live in Milan. R.E.M. Live features rare performances of "I Took Your Name" from 1994's Monster and "Ascent of Man" from Around the Sun, as well as the previously unreleased "I'm Gonna DJ". A studio version of that song appeared on the band's 2008 release, Accelerate. On September 26, 2007, the band launched R.E.M. Live Zine to solicit reviews from fans and promote the album. The DVD has the option for stereo or digital 5.1 surround sound. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
