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
Kiss of the Dragon (French: Le Baiser mortel du dragon) is a 2001 English-language French action film directed by Chris Nahon, written and produced by French filmmaker Luc Besson and starring an international cast led by Jet Li, Bridget Fonda, and Tchéky Karyo. It follows a Chinese police officer who is sent to Paris to assist in the arrest of a Chinese mob boss. Framed for murder and hard pressed to prove his innocence, he teams up with a woman forced into prostitution. Li wanted to take a realistic approach to the fight scenes and forgo the CGI and wire work that had been popularized by films such as Charlie's Angels and The Matrix. Consequently, most of the action sequences did not use CGI or wire work; only two scenes required CGI enhancement, and only one scene involved wire work. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
