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
The Boy Friends is a series of American Pre-Code comedy short films produced by Hal Roach and released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer between 1930 and 1932. Based around the comic adventures and escapades of a group teenagers and young adults, the series was spun off from the long-running Our Gang short film series (also known as The Little Rascals). Fifteen shorts were produced by Roach for The Boy Friends series, which was succeeded in 1932 by The Taxi Boys series. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
