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

What happens
The Longest Yard is a 2005 American sports comedy film directed by Peter Segal and written by Sheldon Turner. An updated remake of 1974's The Longest Yard, it stars Adam Sandler as a washed-up former professional American football quarterback who goes to prison and is forced to assemble a team to play against the guards. The film co-stars Chris Rock, James Cromwell, the rapper-musician Nelly, William Fichtner, David Patrick Kelly, Tracy Morgan, and Cloris Leachman, as well as Burt Reynolds (who played Sandler's role in the original). The Longest Yard was released by Paramount Pictures in the United States and Canada, and Sony Pictures Releasing (under the Columbia Pictures label) elsewhere on May 27, 2005. The film received mixed reviews from critics and moviegoers, but was a box office success, grossing $191.2 million on an $82 million budget. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
