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
The Return of the Musketeers is a 1989 film adaptation loosely based on the novel Twenty Years After (1845) by Alexandre Dumas. It is the third Musketeers film directed by Richard Lester, following 1973's The Three Musketeers and 1974's The Four Musketeers. Like the previous two films, the screenplay was written by George MacDonald Fraser. It stars Michael York, Oliver Reed, Frank Finlay (reprising their roles), C. Thomas Howell and Kim Cattrall. Richard Chamberlain returns in a special appearance. Geraldine Chaplin, Roy Kinnear and Christopher Lee also reprise their roles. The character of Mordaunt, Milady de Winter's son in the original novel, is replaced by Milady's daughter, Justine de Winter (Catrall's character). Jean-Pierre Cassel, who played Louis XIII in the original films, has a cameo appearance as Cyrano de Bergerac. While filming in September 1988, character actor Roy Kinnear died following an on-camera accident in which he fell off a horse. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
