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

Run for Your Wife is a 2012 British comedy film written by Ray Cooney, who co-directed it with John Luton. It is based on Cooney's 1983 play of the same name. The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival on 19 May 2012 and was released theatrically in the United Kingdom on 14 February 2013. It was critically panned, and is often cited as one of the worst films ever made, grossing just £602 at the box office on a £900,000 budget. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
