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

The film follows Mike Enslin, an author who investigates allegedly haunted places. Enslin receives an ominous warning not to enter room 1408 at a New York City hotel, The Dolphin. Although skeptical of the paranormal, he is soon trapped in the room, where he experiences bizarre and frightful events. 1408 was released in the United States on June 22, 2007, by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (under The Weinstein Company). The film received generally positive reviews from critics and was a box-office success, grossing $133 million against a production budget of $25 million. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
