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
A Switch in Time is a 1988 Canadian science-fiction comedy film written and directed by Paul Donovan, starring Tom McCamus, Lori Paton, Jacques Lussier and David Hemblen. It follows Norman, Umberto and Erica, a trio of accidental time travelers who attempt to rebuild their life in early Christian times during the Roman Empire's invasion of Helvetic lands. The film had a troubled production and only received a spotty release. Its belated U.S. home video version was re-titled Norman's Awesome Experience by distributor South Gate Entertainment to ride on the success of Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, a film it actually predates.
