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.

La sceneggiatura di Gilson Willets si basa sull'omonimo lavoro teatrale di Edward Peple: ambientata in Inghilterra, la commedia debuttò a Broadway il 4 settembre 1905 interpretata, nel ruolo del conte di Huntington, da Cecil B. De Mille. La commedia, nel 1920, verrà portata di nuovo sullo schermo in una versione firmata da William C. de Mille intitolata pure lei The Prince Chap. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
