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
9 to 5 (titled Nine to Five in the opening credits) is a 1980 American comedy film directed by Colin Higgins, who wrote the screenplay with Patricia Resnick, and starring Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Dolly Parton, Dabney Coleman, Elizabeth Wilson, and Sterling Hayden. It tells the story of three working women (played by Fonda, Tomlin, and Parton) who live out their fantasies of getting even with and overthrowing their company's autocratic, "sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot" vice president (played by Coleman). The film grossed over $103.3 million. As a star vehicle for Parton—already established as a successful musician—it launched her permanently into mainstream popular culture. A television series based on the film ran for five seasons in the 1980s, and a musical stage adaptation with new songs written by Parton opened on Broadway in 2009. 9 to 5 is 74th on the American Film Institute's "100 Funniest Movies" and has a 69% approval rating on review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes. The film is considered a cult classic. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
