The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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

Naked City: Justice with a Bullet is a 1998 American crime drama television film about two detectives who have to protect two girls who have been robbed of all their money and luggage. Airing on Showtime, the movie is loosely based on the 1948 film The Naked City, with Scott Glenn and Courtney B. Vance in the roles originated by Barry Fitzgerald and Don Taylor. A sequel, titled Naked City: A Killer Christmas aired a few months later. Kim Poirier has a cameo appearance in the film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
