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
This silent comedy follows a character similar to Charlie Chaplin as he gets into mild misadventures. Oliver Hardy appears in one of his early roles. The action is simple and the story is only fairly entertaining.

What happens
The Freckled Fish is a 1919 American silent comedy film featuring Oliver Hardy. Simon Louvish describes this as part of the "Charlie from the Orient" series starring Chai Hong as a kind of "Chinese Charlie Chaplin." Reviews were tepid, with The Moving Picture World declaring that "the action is too indefinite to hold the attention closely, and the number as a whole is only fair." This was Hardy's last film with L-KO studios before he joined Vitagraph. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
