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.
How it feels
A man stays out all night playing poker instead of going to a party with his wife. The next morning, she sends telegrams to all his friends asking if he stayed with them, and each one says yes.

What happens
A Telegraphic Tangle è un cortometraggio muto del 1916 diretto e interpretato da Sidney Drew. Smithers passa tutta la notte a giocare a poker evitando così di andare a una serata con la moglie. Visto che la mattina seguente il marito non è ancora riapparso a casa, la signora Smithers invia un telegramma a tutti gli amici del coniuge chiedendo se il marito ha passato la notte con qualcuno di loro. Ognuno risponde che Smithers ha passato la notte con lui. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
