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
Monster-in-Law is a 2005 romantic comedy film directed by Robert Luketic, written by Anya Kochoff and starring Jennifer Lopez, Jane Fonda, Michael Vartan, and Wanda Sykes. It marked a return to cinema for Fonda, being her first film in 15 years since Stanley & Iris in 1990. Temp Charlotte Cantillini's love life has been stagnant for ages--until she repeatedly cross paths with Dr. Kevin Fields and they instantly connect. Soon, their relationship advances so she meets his controlling mother Violet, who goes to great lengths to separate them. The film was negatively received by critics who praised Fonda's performance but panned the screenplay. Monster-in-Law was a box office success, grossing $155 million on a $43 million budget.
