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.
How it feels
A bumbling amateur detective tries to solve a case but causes more trouble than he prevents. The short silent comedy follows his hapless attempts at detective work.

What happens
Mr. Poorluck's as an Amateur Dectective è un cortometraggio muto del 1912 diretto da Frank Wilson. Si conoscono pochi dati del film che, prodotto dalla Hepworth, fu distrutto nel 1924 dallo stesso produttore, Cecil M. Hepworth. Fallito, in gravissime difficoltà finanziarie, il produttore pensò in questo modo di poter almeno recuperare il nitrato d'argento della pellicola. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
