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

Comic Store Heroes is a reality television program set inside Manhattan's Midtown Comics, the largest comic bookstore in the United States. Described as a one-hour documentary about comic book subculture, it is British production company Parthenon Entertainment's first American-based factual entertainment production and premiered on the National Geographic Channel on July 13, 2012, at 8pm Eastern Standard Time. As with Comic Book Men, a similar series airing on AMC starring Kevin Smith, the program focuses on the interactions among the store's staff, and with its customers. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
