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

What happens

《愛》為中華電視公司於1990年12月11日至1991年3月1日播出之八點檔連續劇,共68集,製作單位是映畫傳播。本劇是突破行政院新聞局數十年來的語言政策,首部大量使用台語且混合使用兩種以上語言(國語與台語)的黃金時段連續劇,之後也深深影響其他友台開始拍攝此種題材,可謂是現今台語八點檔的先驅。另外,因其收視率極佳,集數一增再增,突破行政院新聞局自華視256集國語八點檔武俠連續劇《保鑣》後所設下的集數限制。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
