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.
How it feels
A gruff cop is paired with a detective who has multiple personalities. They investigate a blackmail plot involving a Nazi sex tape that could ruin a German politician.

What happens
Loose Cannons is a 1990 American action comedy film written by Richard Matheson, Richard Christian Matheson and Bob Clark, who also directed the film. The film stars Gene Hackman as hard-nosed cop Mac Stern who is teamed up with Ellis Fielding, a detective with multiple personality disorder, played by Dan Aykroyd, to uncover a long-lost Nazi sex tape, featuring Adolf Hitler, which would jeopardize the political future of the West German chancellor-elect Kurt Von Metz. The theme song "Loose Cannons" features vocals by Katey Sagal and Aykroyd. Upon release by Tri-Star Pictures on February 9, 1990, the film was a critical and financial bomb, bringing in only $5.5 million worldwide on a $15 million budget. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
