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
Josie and the Pussycats is a 2001 musical comedy film co-produced by Universal Pictures and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures. Written and directed by Harry Elfont and Deborah Kaplan, the film is based on both the Archie Comics series and the Hanna-Barbera cartoon of the same name. Filmed entirely in Vancouver, Canada, the film features Rachael Leigh Cook, Tara Reid, and Rosario Dawson as the Pussycats, with Alan Cumming, Parker Posey, Gabriel Mann, Paulo Costanzo, and Missi Pyle in supporting roles. A girl band, suddenly and inexplicably thrown into the spotlight with a number one hit, find themselves in the middle of a conspiracy to manipulate the public by delivering subliminal messages through pop music. It was released in the United States on April 11, 2001 by Universal Pictures with the international distribution held by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (through 20th Century Fox). The film's soundtrack album was well received, charting at No. 16 on the Billboard 200 and quickly achieving Gold status. The film received mixed reviews, and was a commercial failure upon its initial release, grossing $14.9 million against a $22–39 million budget. It later gained some success as a cult film.
