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

est un film américain réalisé par Clifford Smith, sorti en 1918. Bob Allers et sa femme sont en route vers l'Arizona lorsqu'ils sont victimes d'un bandit qui vole leur cheval et leur argent. Ils sont secourus par William "Red" Saunders, qui procure à Allers un travail dans le saloon local. Peu après, alors que le même bandit tente de cambrioler le saloon, Allers le tue en légitime défense, mais sans savoir qu'il est en réalité le frère du shérif. Accusé de meurtre par ce dernier, Allers est défendu par Red. Le jury hésite et rend sa décision en se basant sur le vol d'une mouche dans la salle de délibération. Allers est finalement acquitté et retrouve sa femme et leur bébé. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
