The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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

The Incredible Petrified World is a 1959 science fiction film produced and directed by Jerry Warren, and starring John Carradine, Phyllis Coates and Robert Clarke. The film follows four explorers who travel down into the depths of the sea and get stranded in an underwater cavern. The film was completed by Warren in 1958, but remained unreleased until November 22, 1959 when it played on a double feature with another Warren film Teenage Zombies (1959), at least in South Carolina and Texas. The film was released later in Los Angeles on April 16, 1960, again on a double bill with Teenage Zombies (1959). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
