The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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

Alapalooza: The Videos is a VHS release of four of "Weird Al" Yankovic's music videos. Al later joked that it was originally supposed to be called “Alapalooza: Two Videos Based On Songs From The Album And Two Videos That Really Don’t Have Anything To Do With Alapalooza But We Thought You’d Appreciate Having Them On This Collection Anyway” but the retailers preferred the shorter title. The VHS Includes: "Jurassic Park" (Alapalooza) "Bedrock Anthem" (Alapalooza) "UHF" (UHF) "You Don't Love Me Anymore" (Off the Deep End) (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
