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
The Rogue is a 1918 American short silent comedy film lasting 26 minutes, featuring Billy West and Oliver Hardy produced by King Bee Comedies. The main character is a carbon copy of Charlie Chaplin's Tramp down even to the details of the bent shoes, thin cane and matching hat. Moreover, the cafe owner played by Hardy is clearly modelled on Eric Campbell. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
