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
Beyond the Valley of the Dolls is a 1970 American satirical musical melodrama film starring Dolly Read, Cynthia Myers, Marcia McBroom, Phyllis Davis, John LaZar, Michael Blodgett, Erica Gavin, and David Gurian. The film was directed by Russ Meyer and written by Roger Ebert from a story by Ebert and Meyer. Originally intended as a direct sequel to the 1967 film Valley of the Dolls, Beyond the Valley of the Dolls was instead revised as a satirical extension of the original. Beyond was met with negative reviews upon its initial release, but it became a box office success. The film developed a cult following in subsequent decades and has since earned critical reappraisal for its satirical and metafictional elements. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
