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

《球來就打》(英語:Viva Baseball)是一部關於棒球的台灣電影。而這片名更是依照陳金鋒的一句名言「球來就打」而來的。 本片耗資新台幣五千萬元,內容描述中華職棒簽賭、打假球的現象,因而讓不少人聯想到15年前時報鷹球員廖敏雄遭中華職棒終身禁賽而在之後轉戰到學校教球的事件。本片中有中華職棒球星陳金鋒、林智勝、彭政閔、周思齊等客串演出。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
