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

Một phút để chiến thắng (Vietnamese for "one minute to win") is a Vietnamese weekly prime time game show on HTV7 based upon Minute to Win It of NBC. Contestants take part in a series of 60-second challenges that use objects that are commonly available around the house. The ultimate winner would receive 1 billion đồng in cash (about US$44,500), which is the biggest prize in a Vietnamese game show until 2012. The show is hosted by Nguyên Vũ. The premiere date was originally set on May 20, 2012, airing at 9:30 p.m. (UTC+7) every Sunday, but it was delayed as the official website announced on that day. Later, the official Facebook page announced the new premiere date would be May 27, 2012. Since July 27, 2012, the show's time slot was changed to 8:35 p.m. (UTC+7) every Friday. From October 5, 2012, it was changed to 9 p.m. (UTC+7) every Friday. After broadcasting 26 episodes, rerun of the series began on November 23, 2012, and ended on July 19, 2013. The series also reruns Sundays at 7:30 p.m. (UTC+7) on HTV3 since July 7, 2013. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
