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
As Summers Die is a 1986 American made-for-television drama film starring Scott Glenn, Jamie Lee Curtis, Bette Davis and Beah Richards, directed by Jean-Claude Tramont. The film is loosely based on Winston Groom's 1980 novel of the same name about greed, bigotry and justice in late 1950s segregationist southern Louisiana. It was filmed in Valdosta and Quitman Georgia and premiered on HBO on May 18, 1986. The film was the last television film produced by HBO Premiere Films before being folded into HBO Pictures, with the next Premiere film, Apology, released under that banner. It was later released on VHS by HBO/Cannon Video. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
