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

The Lone Star Ranger is a 1930 American pre-Code Western film directed by A.F. Erickson and written by Seton I. Miller and John Hunter Booth. The film stars George O'Brien, Sue Carol, Walter McGrail, Warren Hymer, Russell Simpson and Roy Stewart. It is based on the 1915 novel The Lone Star Ranger by Zane Grey. The film was released on January 5, 1930, by Fox Film Corporation. Originally released as an All-Talking picture, the film seems to have survived only in an International Sound Version, which replaced the dialogue portions of the film with music and intertitles. Parts of the film were shot in Monument Valley and Rainbow Bridge in Utah. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
