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.
How it feels

What happens
The Rejection Show is a comedic variety show that features the rejected or cut material of writers, comedians, cartoonists, artists, and others, who display their creative "failures" live on stage. The Rejection Show was created by comedian and writer Jon Friedman (producer, host) in the summer of 2003 after a string of his own personal and creative rejections left him wanting to create a forum for such works. The show features a variety of material that is both good and bad, from stories of personal heartbreak to rejected sketches from Saturday Night Live to rejected cartoons from The New Yorker. Material from The Rejection Show was published in book form in 2009 by Villard, titled Rejected: Tales of the Failed, Dumped and Cancelled. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
