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

Thief is a 2006 American thriller crime drama miniseries starring Andre Braugher as Nick Atwater, a master thief and leader of a heist crew, balancing his personal life with the planning of a major heist. It aired on FX from March 28 to May 2. The pilot was originally ordered by Fox back in 2002, but did not move forward until Braugher signed on. Despite critical acclaim, the show failed to garner significant ratings and FX declined to extend the series. Each episode features a different song performed by multiple Grammy Award nominee Anthony Hamilton. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
