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
Plastered in Paris is a 1928 American synchronized sound comedy film directed by Benjamin Stoloff and starring Sammy Cohen, Jack Pennick and Lola Salvi. While the film has no audible dialog, it was released with a synchronized musical score with sound effects using the sound-on-film movietone process. It was intended as a parody of Foreign Legion films such as Beau Geste. However, this drew some criticism for its mockery of the Foreign Legion, which an observer compared to the British Guards Regiments as being above parody. In the film, two veterans of the American Legion enlist in the French Foreign Legion by mistake. They are assigned a mission in North Africa. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
