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

The Newest Woman è un cortometraggio muto del 1909. Il nome del regista non viene riportato nei credit del film. La moda parigina sconvolge un marito quando la moglie gli mostra il vestito che ha appena comprato. Per prenderla in giro, applica dei pizzi ai propri pantaloni. Lei gli dice che è matto, lui le dice che fa il paio con lei. Va a finire che decidono di buttare dalla finestra i due abiti che vengono raccolti da una coppia di vagabondi. I due indossano i vestiti ma, quando si vedono l'un l'altro, non possono far altro che svenire per lo choc. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
