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

Two bumbling detectives try to solve a series of mysterious crimes in a parody of old German thriller films. The story is a sequel that mocks classic mystery tropes with exaggerated characters and silly humor.

What happens

Neues vom Wixxer ist eine deutsche Filmkomödie aus dem Jahr 2007 und die Fortsetzung des Films Der Wixxer aus dem Jahr 2004. Die Komödie parodiert die Edgar-Wallace-Verfilmungen der 1950er und 1960er. Davon zeugt auch der Untertitel „Nach immer noch keinem Roman von Edgar Wallace“. Am Ende des Filmes wird eine Fortsetzung Triple WixXx angekündigt, die jedoch 2015 abgesagt wurde. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
