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.

The film stars Justin Long, Blake Lively, Jonah Hill, Anthony Heald and Lewis Black in lead roles. The plot follows Bartleby Gaines, a high school graduate who, after being rejected by every college he applies to, concocts a plan to create a fake university with his friends to convince his parents he's moving forward with his education. As more students, also rejected from other schools, mistakenly apply to the fictional South Harmon Institute of Technology (S.H.I.T.), Bartleby and his friends decide to run the school as if it were a real institution. The film was released by Universal Pictures on August 18, 2006, and received mixed reviews from critics while grossing $38.6 million against a $23 million budget. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
