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

Feet of Mud is a 1924 silent black and white short film starring Harry Langdon directed by Harry Edwards and produced by Mack Sennett. It was reshown as part of Comedy Capers in a shortened version under the title of The Football Hero. The title of the film is a parody on Cecil B. DeMille's Feet of Clay, which was released only a few months before. There is no similarity in plot. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
