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

Cruising Bar 2 is a 2008 Canadian comedy film, directed by Robert Ménard and Michel Côté. A sequel to the 1989 film Cruising Bar, the film stars Côté as the same four separate characters he played in the original film, now dealing with much more middle-aged sexual and relationship issues. Gérard's wife Gertrude (Véronique Le Flaguais) has finally had enough of his constant infidelity, and is filing for divorce; Patrice is in a downward spiral after his girlfriend breaks up with him; Jean-Jacques is struggling with erectile dysfunction issues which have led his psychiatrist to suggest that he might actually be gay; Serge, perennially unlucky in love, tries Internet dating which may finally change his life for the better. The film's cast also includes Marie-France Duquette, Chantal Dauphinais, Lise Roy and Hélène Major. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
