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
A couple moves to a small Mississippi town where the husband is a screenwriter and the wife grew up. Local men harass them, and tensions build into violence as the couple must defend their home.

What happens
Straw Dogs is a 2011 American Southern Gothic psychological thriller film written, produced and directed by Rod Lurie, and starring James Marsden, Kate Bosworth, and Alexander Skarsgård. It is a remake of Sam Peckinpah's 1971 film, itself based on the Gordon Williams novel The Siege of Trencher's Farm. The film relocates the story's setting from Cornwall to rural Mississippi. The film was released by Screen Gems on September 16, 2011. It was a commercial disappointment and received mixed-to-negative reviews, with many reviewers comparing it critically to its source material. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
