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
The Daughters of Joshua Cabe is a 1972 American made-for-television Western film directed by Philip Leacock. The story is about Joshua Cabe, an aging homesteader in the Old West who needs children to help him establish his claim on his property. With his real daughters unavailable, he recruits three young women with minor criminal backgrounds to pose as his daughters. The film was originally written for Walter Brennan. Buddy Ebsen wound up playing the role of Joshua Cabe instead. The show drew "solid ratings". It was the fifth most watched show that week. There were two sequels in the next few years, with mostly different casts from the original and from each other. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
