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

Harmon of Michigan is a 1941 American sports film directed by Charles Barton and starring Tom Harmon, Anita Louise and Larry Parks. Ostensibly a biopic about University of Michigan football player Harmon's post-collegiate career as a coach, it was actually filmed immediately upon his graduation and is thus entirely fictional. Harmon, who was an all-American and Heisman Trophy winner at Michigan, plays himself in the film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
