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
Dopey Dicks is a 1950 detective film short subject directed by Edward Bernds starring American slapstick comedy team The Three Stooges (Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Shemp Howard). It is the 122nd entry in the series released by Columbia Pictures starring the comedians, who released 190 shorts for the studio between 1934 and 1959. In the film, a young woman enters a private investigator's office and asks for help. The investigator is absent, but the office's janitors agree to help her. The woman is kidnapped shortly after. The janitors attempt to rescue the damsel in distress, but they have to face a mad scientist and his army of robots. The film parodies the Sam Spade stories by Dashiell Hammett. The unseen detective who the Stooges effectively replace is called "Sam Shovel". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
