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
A comedy Western where a well-meaning but inept cowboy gets into trouble with a local woman and the townsfolk. The film follows his fumbling attempts to win her over and avoid the wrath of the other characters.

What happens
The Cockeyed Cowboys of Calico County is a 1970 American comedy Western film by Universal Studios, directed by Anton Leader and Ranald MacDougall, and starring Dan Blocker and Nanette Fabray, with a supporting cast featuring: Jim Backus, Mickey Rooney, Wally Cox, Jack Elam, Noah Beery, Jr., Jack Cassidy and Don "Red" Barry. MacDougal wrote the screenplay. It was originally intended as a television film but was ultimately released as a theatrical feature. The film became Blocker's final role (besides his long-running role as "Hoss Cartwright" on Bonanza) before his death from complications from gall bladder surgery, in May 1972. In late 2010, the Encore Westerns channel began showing this film intermittently on their schedule. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
