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
Stranger than Fiction is a 2006 American fantasy romance comedy drama film directed by Marc Forster, produced by Lindsay Doran and written by Zach Helm. Partially inspired by Playtime by Jacques Tati, the film stars Will Ferrell, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Dustin Hoffman, Queen Latifah and Emma Thompson. The main plot follows Harold Crick (Ferrell), an IRS agent who begins hearing a disembodied voice narrating his life as it happens – seemingly the text of a novel in which it is stated that he, the main character, will soon die – and he frantically seeks to somehow prevent his death. Stranger than Fiction was released by Sony Pictures Releasing under its Columbia Pictures label on November 10, 2006. Upon its release, the film received positive reviews. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
