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

A playwright hires a call girl to act in his new play, but complications arise when his wife finds out and other characters get tangled up in romantic mix-ups. It is a screwball comedy filled with mistaken identities and overlapping relationships.

What happens

She's Funny That Way is a 2014 screwball comedy film directed by Peter Bogdanovich and co-written with Louise Stratten. It stars Owen Wilson, Imogen Poots, Kathryn Hahn, Will Forte, Rhys Ifans, and Jennifer Aniston. It marked the first feature film Bogdanovich directed in 13 years since The Cat's Meow. In addition, the film marked Bogdanovich's final non-documentary feature he directed and Richard Lewis' final theatrical film before their deaths in 2022 and 2024 respectively. It received a limited release in the United States and was released through video on demand on August 21, 2015, by Lionsgate Premiere. The film received mixed reviews from critics. A director's cut with its originally intended title Squirrels to the Nuts was released in 2025. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
