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
Fever Pitch (released as The Perfect Catch outside North America) is a 2005 American romantic comedy-drama film directed by the Farrelly brothers. It stars Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon and is a remake of the British 1997 film of the same title. Nick Hornby, who had written the original 1992 book and the 1997 screenplay adaptation, acted as an executive producer for the American remake. While both the book and the original 1997 film are about association football, the 2005 adaptation, aimed specifically at the American market, is about baseball. Both Fever Pitch films feature real-life dramatic sporting victories, the original focusing on Arsenal's last-minute League title win in the final game of the 1988–1989 season, and the remake on the Boston Red Sox's World Series Championship in 2004, unanticipated while the film was in production. The film premiered in Boston on April 6, 2005 and was released by 20th Century Fox on April 8, 2005, in the United States, with Inside the CIA, a promotional short film for American Dad!, premiering with it. It received mixed reviews from critics and grossed $50.6 million against a $30 million budget. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
