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
This British comedy is about different people trying to make a movie based on a risqué folk song. It pokes fun at the British film industry and the process of making sexploitation films.

What happens
Eskimo Nell (also known as The Ballad of Eskimo Nell and The Sexy Saga of Naughty Nell and Big Dick), is a 1975 British satirical comedy film directed by Martin Campbell and starring Roy Kinnear, Anna Quayle, Katy Manning, and Christopher Timothy. It was produced by Stanley Long, who was mainly known for his sexploitation films. Though inspired by "The Ballad of Eskimo Nell", the film owes little to the original bawdy song and features little nudity, instead following a metafictional narrative about the various attempts to produce a movie based on "Eskimo Nell". Long called it "my definitive statement about the sex films", maintaining it was drawn from his own experiences working in the British film industry. Several characters in the film are based on real industry figures. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
