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
"Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night" is the second television play episode of the first season of the American television series CBS Playhouse. The title of the episode is taken from the first line of a Dylan Thomas poem, which tells the story of a carpenter who has built his own home, but is now too old and infirm to live on his own, and is sent to live in an old age home against his desires. It was broadcast October 17, 1967, and was eventually nominated for five Emmy awards, including a nomination for supporting actor Lawrence Dobkin, a win in the category of best actor for Melvyn Douglas in the lead role, and a win in the category of Outstanding Writing Achievement in Drama for Loring Mandel.
