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
A maid needs to hang paintings in a bourgeois apartment. While a valet leaves to get a step stool, the maid climbs the wall like an insect and hangs the pictures herself, surprising the valet when he returns.

What happens
La Soubrette ingénieuse est un film français réalisé par Ferdinand Zecca, sorti en 1902. Dans un appartement bourgeois, la soubrette est chargée de pendre des tableaux. Le valet propose de lui rapporter un escabeau pour cette tâche et quitte le champ. La soubrette, telle un insecte, grimpe à quatre pattes sur le mur et en un tournemain accroche les toiles, puis reprend pied au sol. Le valet, revenant dans le champ avec l'escabeau, en est tout estomaqué. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
