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
Thunder is a 1929 American synchronized sound melodrama film starring Lon Chaney and directed by William Nigh. The film has no audible dialogue but featured a synchronized musical score and sound effects. The soundtrack was recorded using the Western Electric Sound System sound-on-film process. The soundtrack was also transferred to discs for those theatres that were wired with sound-on-disc sound systems. Thunder was Chaney's penultimate film appearance and his last film without audible dialogue. The majority of the picture portion of Thunder is now considered lost, with only a half a reel of the entire footage known to survive. The Vitaphone type sound discs are extant, however, and preserve the soundtrack of the film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
