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
Rockshow is a 1980 American concert film released by Paul McCartney and Wings, filmed during the band's Wings Over the World tour (1975–1976). The film, recorded on the North American leg, features 30 songs from segments of four concerts of the tour: New York, on May 25 (four songs); Seattle, Washington, June 10 (five songs); and Los Angeles, California, June 22 (fifteen songs) and June 23 (six songs). However, both the cover of the home video release and McCartney, in his intro to The McCartney Years DVD, acknowledge only the Seattle concert. Other recordings of the tour were released, such as the triple live album Wings over America (1976) and the Wings Over the World television documentary (1979). This is also the first film released by Miramax Films. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
