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
Man of the East (Italian: E poi lo chiamarono il magnifico) is a 1972 Italian Spaghetti Western film directed by E.B. Clutcher starring Terence Hill. The film is set in the Wild West during the time of the railway construction. A recurring theme is the always progressing modernisation which some of the protagonists are trying to escape. The original title E poi lo chiamarono il Magnifico (translatable as And then they called him the Magnificent One) was chosen to capitalize on the success of the two previous movies by E.B. Clutcher, both starring Terrence Hill, They Call Me Trinity and Trinity Is Still My Name, even if in this movies there are different characters and Bud Spencer, historic sidekick of Terrence Hill/Trinity, is not featured.
