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

The Last Chapter is a Canadian television miniseries that aired on CBC and Radio-Canada from March 6, 2002 to February 24, 2003. The series describes a gang war with a motorcycle gang, the "Triple Sixers", trying to open chapters in Ontario and Quebec. It is loosely based on the Quebec Biker War. The Globe and Mail reported that the resemblance between the Triple Sixers and the Hells Angels Motorcycle club was so strong that the club considered seeking an injunction to prevent broadcasting the series. The series starred Michael Ironside and Roy Dupuis, who play characters that start as friends, but end up leading rival gangs in a deadly gang war. Marina Orsini won a Gemini Award for her role as Ironside's wife. Ironside won an award for his performance in a follow-up series first broadcast in 2003. One unusual aspect of the series is that the actors were bilingual, and every scene with dialogue was filmed twice, in both French and English, to avoid the difficulties of filming in just one language, and then dubbing into the other language, in the studio.
