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
Fort Dobbs is a 1958 American Western film, the first of three directed by Gordon Douglas to star Clint Walker. The other two were: Yellowstone Kelly in 1959 and Gold of the Seven Saints in 1961. Released by Warner Bros. Pictures and based on a screenplay by George W. George and Burt Kennedy, the film runs for 93 minutes with black-and-white photography provided by William H. Clothier. It was intended to capitalize on Walker's success in the Cheyenne TV series, but box office returns were modest. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
