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
Swingers is a 1996 American buddy comedy film directed by Doug Liman and written by Jon Favreau. The film follows the lives of single, unemployed actors living on the 'eastside' of Hollywood, California, during the 1990s swing revival. It stars Favreau, Vince Vaughn, Ron Livingston, Patrick Van Horn, Alex Désert, and Heather Graham. A critical and commercial hit, the film helped propel Favreau, Vaughn, Graham, and Livingston to stardom, while also launching Liman's directing career as he won the award for Best New Filmmaker at the 1997 MTV Movie Awards. This film was rated #58 on Bravo's "100 Funniest Movies". The film was honored on the 2007 Spike TV Guys' Choice Awards. In 2011, Empire magazine listed the film as #49 on its "50 Greatest American Independent Films" list. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
