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
Rancho Notorious is a 1952 American Technicolor Western film, directed by Fritz Lang and starring Marlene Dietrich as the matron of a criminal hideout called Chuck-a-Luck, named after the game of chance referenced in the film. Arthur Kennedy and Mel Ferrer play rivals for her attention in this tale of frontier revenge. The independent film was originally titled Chuck-a-Luck, with "The Legend of Chuck-a-Luck" as the title song, but the name was changed at the insistence of Howard Hughes, then head of RKO Pictures.
