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
This documentary starts by looking at a local boogeyman legend in New York City. It then turns into an investigation of a real child kidnapper whose crimes might have inspired that legend.

What happens
Cropsey is a 2009 American documentary film written and directed by Joshua Zeman and Barbara Brancaccio. The film initially begins as an examination of "Cropsey", a boogeyman-like figure from New York City urban legend, before segueing into the story of Andre Rand, a convicted child kidnapper from Staten Island whose known or suspected crimes in the 1970s and 1980s may have inspired or been blamed on Cropsey. In 2009, Cropsey premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival, and critical reception has been overwhelmingly positive. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
