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

What happens
Defective Detectives è un cortometraggio statunitense del 1944, diretto da Harry Edwards, con Harry Langdon. Harry ed El sono due addetti alle pulizie presso l’agenzia investigativa di Boos, che, a causa della loro confusionaria inettitudine, li licenzia. Quando però Rodney Boodle e signora chiedono aiuto a Boos in quanto minacciati da un pericoloso gangster, i due vengono assunti di nuovo, in qualità questa volta di investigatori, con l’incarico di seguire una donna che li porterà verosimilmente al malvivente ricercato. Harry ed El attraversano svariate vicissitudini e alla fine riescono a catturare quelli che credono essere la donna ed il gangster, ed in realtà sono Boodle e sua moglie. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
