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

Jack, Sam and Pete are fictional characters who starred in stories published in the Amalgamated Press boys' story paper The Halfpenny Marvel (later The Marvel) from 1901 to 1922. It is an adventure story following a trio of globetrotting chums able to find excitement all over the world. The phenomenally strong Pete, a native of Zanzibar, befriends drifting Oxford graduate Jack Owen and American crack shot Sam Grant, who become his trusty companions; Pete soon proves to be a champion prize-fighter and the trio become travelling companions going to all sorts of places for boxing matches and other ventures. Pete's dog Rory was also a regular travelling companion. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
