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
The Magic Skin è un film muto del 1915 diretto da Richard Ridgely. La "pelle magica" del titolo è la pelle di zigrino del romanzo di Balzac: al contrario del romanzo, dove il protagonista finisce male, nel film di Ridgely la storia del giovane che cede alle tentazioni termina invece con un lieto fine, perché lui si risveglia dall'incubo e, accortosi che ha sognato, mette la testa a posto, lascia l'amante e si sposa con una brava ragazza.
