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 soap opera writer knocks himself out and wakes up inside the fictional town of his own TV show. He discovers that whatever he types on his typewriter comes true. He uses this power to win the heart of the show's leading lady.
