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

What happens

Metropolis 2000: Scenes from New York is the third video album by American progressive metal band Dream Theater, released on April 21, 2001 by Elektra Records. The live performance was recorded during the final concert of the U.S. leg of the Metropolis 2000 tour at the Roseland Ballroom in New York City on August 30, 2000. Broadway and film actor Kent Broadhurst assisted the band with live narration in the role of the hypnotherapist, replacing Terry Brown, who had threatened to sue the band for using his recorded spoken parts from the album in a live setting. The VHS release of Metropolis 2000: Scenes from New York was heavily shortened and only contains the performance of Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory. The entire concert is on CD on Live Scenes From New York. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
