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 series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Interbang‽ was an Italian television series created by Paul Casalini which prominently featured the interbang or interrobang symbol (‽), a combination of the exclamation point and the question mark. In Italy it was broadcast on Odeon TV. In the UK the show was broadcast on The Children's Channel in the late 1980s and on the Terrestrial Channel ITV. The series featured two teenagers, Gianni and Bruno, who were trying to collect a number of special souvenir statues of the Pisa Leaning Tower, scattered all across the world, whilst trying to prevent a group of criminals also getting their hands on the statues. Each statue granted its holder a different magical ability. Each episode a different statue would be recovered by one of the opposing sides, with each statue displaying a different coloured version of an interrobang. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
