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.

How it feels

Two chefs each make a dish using a very expensive special ingredient. A panel votes on which dish to serve, and only the voters get to eat it.

What happens

The Dotch Cooking Show (Japanese: どっちの料理ショー, Hepburn: Dotchi no Ryōri Shō) (April 17, 1997 – March 17, 2005) was a Japanese cooking show produced by the Yomiuri Telecasting Corporation and known for its use of the highest quality and most expensive food ingredients available from both domestic and international sources. In the show two chefs prepare two competing dishes, each using a special premium ingredient, but the dish that is ultimately served at the end of the show is determined by majority vote of the panelists, and then served only to those who voted for that dish. The show is continued by the New Dotch Cooking Show (新どっちの料理ショー, Shin Dotchi no Ryōri Shō) from April 14, 2005. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
