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 Stranger is a 1973 science fiction television pilot directed by Lee H. Katzin, and starring Glenn Corbett and Cameron Mitchell. Independent film production and distribution company Film Ventures International (FVI) re-issued The Stranger to syndication under the title Stranded in Space. As with other films released by FVI, the opening credits for Stranded in Space featured footage from an entirely unrelated film, in this case the 1983 low-budget science fiction film Prisoners of the Lost Universe.
