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
Jersey Girl is a 2004 American comedy-drama film written, co-edited and directed by Kevin Smith. It stars Ben Affleck and Liv Tyler with George Carlin (in his final live-action film appearance), Stephen Root, Mike Starr, Raquel Castro (in her film debut), Jason Biggs and Jennifer Lopez in supporting roles. The film follows a widowed man (Affleck) who must learn how to properly take care of his precocious daughter (Castro) after her mother (Lopez) dies during childbirth. It was the first film written and directed by Smith not set in the View Askewniverse as well as the first that did not feature appearances by Jay and Silent Bob, although animated versions of them appear in the View Askew logo. At $35 million, not including marketing costs, it was then Smith's biggest-budgeted film, and was a box office bomb, grossing just $36 million. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
