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 series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
The Highwayman is an American action-adventure-themed television series starring Sam J. Jones, set in "the near future". It was created by Glen A. Larson and Douglas Heyes. The pilot aired in September 1987 and was followed by a series of nine episodes, with significant changes to the cast and format, that ran from March until May 1988. Opening narration by William Conrad (all episodes after the pilot): There is a world, just beyond now, where reality runs a razor-thin seam between fact and possibility; where the laws of the present collide with the crimes of tomorrow. Patrolling these vast outlands is a new breed of lawman, guarding the fringes of society’s frontiers, they are known simply as ‘Highwaymen’... and this is their story... (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
