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
Point Blank is a 1967 American crime film directed by John Boorman, starring Lee Marvin, co-starring Angie Dickinson, Keenan Wynn and Carroll O'Connor, and adapted from the 1962 crime noir pulp novel The Hunter, the first in the Parker series of crime novels written by Donald E. Westlake under the nom de plume of Richard Stark. Boorman directed the film at Marvin's request and Marvin played a central role in the film's development. The film grossed more than $9 million in theatrical rentals in 1967, and since then has gone on to become a cult classic, eliciting praise from such critics as film historian David Thomson. In 2016, Point Blank was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the United States Library of Congress, and selected for preservation in its National Film Registry.
