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
Each episode is set in the same hotel room in New York City but in different years. A different group of characters occupies the room in each segment. The series explores the strange and private moments that happen inside that room.

What happens
Hotel Room (sometimes referred to as David Lynch's Hotel Room) is an American drama anthology series that aired for three episodes on HBO on January 8, 1993, with a rerun the next night. Created by Monty Montgomery and David Lynch (who directed the first and third episodes), each episode stars a different cast and takes place in the same room of a New York City hotel, in the years 1969, 1992, and 1936, respectively. The three episodes (totaling 99 minutes) were intended to be shown together in the form of a feature-length pilot, with the hope that a series in a standalone half-hour format would be produced later. Following a mediocre reception, HBO chose to not produce more episodes. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
