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
Pokerface is a 1986 miniseries about a former journalist who works as an undercover agent for Australia's secret service. Bill Garner was friends with Peter Corris. Garner arranged for the ABC to commission an espionage mini series and he wrote it with Corris. Corris recalled, "it was bloody good. Bruno Lawrence... was terrific, very tough guy. So we did that and then I novelised our script, Penguin published it, it did well, and that kicked off the Crawly series. Bill would provide the basic idea, they were set in different places. They [the books] started really well but failed badly." (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
