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.

It is directed by Yves Simoneau and was produced by Wolf Films for HBO. It stars Aidan Quinn, Adam Beach, August Schellenberg, Anna Paquin, Colm Feore, and Gordon Tootoosis. The film dramatizes the history of Native Americans in the American West in the 1860s and 1870s, focusing upon the transition from traditional ways of living to living on reservations and their treatment during that period, through the lives of four main characters: Charles Eastman (Beach), Sitting Bull (Schellenberg), Henry L. Dawes (Quinn), and Red Cloud (Tootoosis). The title of the film and the book is taken from a line in the Stephen Vincent Benét poem "American Names." The film premiered on HBO on May 27, 2007. It received positive reviews from critics, and won seven Primetime Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Television Movie. It was also nominated for three Golden Globe Awards: Best Limited or Anthology Series or Television Film, Best Actor – Miniseries or Television Film for Beach, and Best Actress – Miniseries or Television Film for Paquin.
