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

Killer Babes (Dutch: Moordwijven, slang for a "fantastic woman", more literally Murderbitches) is a 2007 Dutch black comedy about millionaire wives who get revenge on their cheating husbands by having them killed. The film is directed by Dick Maas. It was awarded a Golden Film, having sold more than 100'000 tickets in the first nine days of screening. This film marks the first film in six years he has directed, and the first Dutch language film in twelve years, the previous being Flodder 3. It was first to be called 'De Botox Methode' (The Botox Method), but this title was dropped because Botox is a brand name. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
