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
Starting Over is a 1979 American romantic comedy-drama film directed by Alan J. Pakula from a screenplay by James L. Brooks, based on the 1973 novel by Dan Wakefield. Starring Burt Reynolds, Jill Clayburgh, and Candice Bergen, it follows a recently divorced man who is torn between his new girlfriend and his ex-wife. The film was nominated for two Academy Awards for Best Actress (Clayburgh) and Best Supporting Actress (Bergen). Marvin Hamlisch and Carole Bayer Sager wrote three original songs for the film, "Easy for You", "Better Than Ever", and "Starting Over", which are sung by Bergen in the film, but sung by Stephanie Mills for the radio versions.
