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

A Deadly Adoption is a 2015 American thriller drama television film directed by Rachel Lee Goldenberg (in her feature directorial debut) and written by Harper Steele. It was described as a "deadpan parody of Lifetime Channel films" by critic Damon Wise. It stars comedians Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig as a typical middle-class husband and wife, with Jessica Lowndes serving as the villain. It was so deadpan that when it premiered on the Lifetime Channel on June 20, 2015, audiences failed to recognize that it was, in fact, satirical. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
