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 series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

The New Movie Show with Chris Gore is a movie review television program hosted by Chris Gore on FX in which a panel of critics shared opinions of newly released films. The show was short-lived, only airing for a brief period in the spring/summer of 2000. In addition to the panel of critics giving their opinions on newly released films, there were other segments which helped to set the show apart from other similar shows of the day (predictions for the biggest movies of the summer, the panel describing their favorite sequels, awards for the best elements of the James Bond series, etc.). A memorable early promotional commercial for the show featured Gore giving witty, one-sentence "joke" statements about some recent films. An example of this was Gore describing Eye of the Beholder with the sentence "...at least Ashley Judd got naked." (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
