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

Something in Her Eye is a 1915 American silent comedy film featuring Oliver Hardy. It is the best-preserved example of Hardy's work because a pristine copy was found in a basement in England in 1984 and given to the National Film Archive. Although Billie Rhodes was listed as being in the film, experts concluded that she isn't there and another person plays her part, perhaps a man dressed as a woman. A question mark under her eye adds to the mystery. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
