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
A mild-mannered deputy takes on a corrupt town boss with humor and cleverness instead of violence. A saloon singer gets caught up in the conflict. The film mixes comedy with western action.

What happens
Destry Rides Again is a 1939 American Western comedy film directed by George Marshall for Universal Pictures with stars Marlene Dietrich and James Stewart. The supporting cast includes Charles Winninger, Mischa Auer, Brian Donlevy, Irene Hervey and Una Merkel. The opening credits contain the billing "Suggested by Max Brand's novel Destry Rides Again", but the movie is considerably different and also bears little resemblance to Universal's 1932 adaptation of the 1930 novel. The 1932 film, originally released as Destry Rides Again with star Tom Mix in his first sound film, has been retitled for post-1939 screenings as Justice Rides Again. In 1996, Destry Rides Again was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
