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
You Wrote It, You Watch It is an MTV sketch comedy show that aired from 1992–1993. It was hosted by Jon Stewart and featured members of The State comedy troupe. The latter of whom starred in their own show on MTV following the cancellation of You Wrote It, You Watch It. The State performed humorous sketch recreations of letters sent to the MTV offices by viewers, depicting outrageous stories and events from their daily lives, with introductions by Stewart. An early example of crowdsourcing, the program relied on content submitted by viewers. The show only lasted one season before its cancellation. Jon Stewart would later quip, "You wrote it, you just didn't watch it!" (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
