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 is a British experimental short comedy. It is a series of silly sketches and gags with no real plot.

What happens
The Running Jumping & Standing Still Film is a 1959 British experimental sketch comedy short film directed by Richard Lester and Peter Sellers, in collaboration with Bruce Lacey. It was a favourite of The Beatles, especially John Lennon, which led to Lester being hired to direct A Hard Day's Night (1964), Help! (1965), and How I Won The War (1966), which starred Lennon. In Help!, Lacey makes a guest appearance as George Harrison's gardener in the sequence where the group arrive at their "home". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
