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

In de Gloria (English: "In the Glory") is a Belgian TV sketch comedy show, directed by Jan Eelen and produced by the company Woestijnvis that lasted from 11 February 2000 to 28 April 2001. It is a mockumentary series which satirizes reality television and human interest shows, especially targeting the way regular people are exploited by media. The show ran on the Belgian public TV channel Canvas for two seasons of 10 episodes each. In Flanders itself, the series received critical acclaim and continues to enjoy significant popularity, with several sketches having gained classic status. Despite the local popularity, the show has never been exported outside of Belgium. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
