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

Jackass is an American reality slapstick comedy show created by Jeff Tremaine, Spike Jonze, and Johnny Knoxville. It originally aired for three short seasons on MTV between October 2000 and August 2001, with reruns extending into 2002. It featured a compilation of pain-inducing stunt performances and pranks, with the regular cast entailing Knoxville, Bam Margera, Chris Pontius, Ryan Dunn, Steve-O, Dave England, "Danger Ehren" McGhehey, Jason "Wee Man" Acuña, Preston Lacy and Brandon DiCamillo. After MTV ended Jackass broadcasts in 2002, it grew into a media franchise, which includes the spin-off series Wildboyz, and Viva La Bam; six feature films released by Paramount Pictures, four of which with expanded compilation films; a video game and a mobile game; boxed DVD sets of unreleased footage of the original TV show, a short-lived website featuring blogs and videos, merchandise, and several other videos released by various other means. Jackass is controversial due to its perceived indecency and potential encouragement of dangerous behavior. The TV show placed 68th on Entertainment Weekly's "New TV Classics" list, and is a significant part in 2000s American popular culture. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
