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.
How it feels
A middle-aged man in a slump accidentally orders a hyper-realistic silicone doll from the internet. She is always available, happy, and understanding, which appeals to him but alarms his friends and family.

What happens
Monique : toujours contente est un film français réalisé par Valérie Guignabodet, sorti en 2002. Alex est en pleine crise de la quarantaine. À la suite d'une erreur, il s'achète sur Internet Monique, une poupée moulée en silicone dernier cri. Ses avantages par rapport à une femme réelle : elle est toujours disponible, toujours heureuse, compréhensive, ne fait pas de crises, ne pleure pas. Il est séduit, son entourage ne suit pas.
