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
This movie is a musical that makes fun of western movie cliches. Characters in a fake-looking town sing and joke their way through a parody of cowboy stories. The sets are designed to look like a stage instead of a real place.

What happens
Red Garters is a 1954 American musical Western film starring Rosemary Clooney, Jack Carson, Guy Mitchell. It is a musical spoof of Westerns. The director was George Marshall. The film was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Art Direction (Hal Pereira, Roland Anderson, Samuel M. Comer, Ray Moyer). "[Red Garters] is a costume piece, a roguish, cheeky musical western in which anything goes. All the cliches of every western ever made are examined with humor and high spirits. [...] Red Garters has no settings in the ordinary sense; houses, trees, windows and the like are merely suggested, as on a musical stage." It has been distributed on VHS, Laserdisc, and DVD.
