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
Gridlock'd is a 1997 American crime black comedy drama film written and directed by Vondie Curtis-Hall (in his directorial debut film), and starring Tupac Shakur, Tim Roth, Lucy Liu, and Thandiwe Newton. It follows two heroin addicts, who decide to kick the habit following the overdose of their bandmate. They confront the police and local criminals, while bureaucracy prevents them from entering a drug rehabilitation program. Curtis-Hall had a small role for the film. Shakur died four months before the film's release. The film's opening was relatively low, despite critical acclaim. Its opening weekend netted only $2,678,372 and it finished with a little over $5.5 million. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
