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

What happens
Something for Everyone is a 1970 American black comedy film starring Angela Lansbury, Michael York, Anthony Higgins, and Jane Carr. Directed by Harold Prince (in his feature directorial debut), with a screenplay by Hugh Wheeler, the plot differs significantly from the source material, the Harry Kressing novel The Cook. Lansbury was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy. Production for Cinema Center Films began in June 1969, first released by National General Pictures in July 1970. The film's UK release in May 1971 was retitled Black Flowers for the Bride, subtitled A Comedy of Evil. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
