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.
How it feels
This is a series of short films from the early 1930s. Each one features a host who presents famous movie stars in staged conversations or songs, mixed with casual newsreel clips of stars at play.

What happens
Hollywood on Parade is a series of short subject films, produced by Louis Lewyn and released by Paramount Pictures between 1932 and 1934. Each of the 10-minute shorts has a different host, who introduces the various segments and personalities. Popular movie stars are seen speaking or singing in supposedly informal settings, although the action was always staged for the cameras. Other segments are genuinely informal newsreel-type scenes, shot silent, with stars seen playing golf, attending sporting events, or visiting local functions. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
