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
An Crisis ("The Crisis", using the Irish article and the English noun) is an Irish comedy television series which was first broadcast on TG4 in 2010 as a six-part miniseries satirising the inner workings of an Irish-language quango. It was written by Antoine Ó Flatharta and directed by Charlie McCarthy. A sequel, titled Crisis Eile (IPA: [ˈɛlʲə]; "Another Crisis") aired in 2013. The action shifts to the European Commission, with Maeve Kelly Clarke (Bláthnaid Ní Chofaigh) exiled to Brussels as Ireland's new Commissioner. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
