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
Soul Men is a 2008 American musical comedy film directed by Malcolm D. Lee and starring Samuel L. Jackson, Bernie Mac, Sharon Leal, Sean Hayes, Affion Crockett, Adam Herschman and John Legend in his film debut. This was also Isaac Hayes's final film. The film was released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer on November 7, 2008. It was one of three films featuring Mac that were released after his death (and was actually released on the same date as another posthumous film, Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa). Mac and Hayes died on August 9 and 10, 2008, respectively, and the film is dedicated to their memory. Director Lee said the film was heavily re-edited to soften the tone of the film, as a tribute to the two actors. Critical reviews were mixed, and the film was financially unsuccessful as it grossed $12.3 million against a $40 million budget. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
