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

Best Funeral Ever is an American reality television series that aired on the TLC cable network for two seasons, beginning January 6, 2013. The show took place at the Golden Gate Funeral Home in Dallas, Texas, a Black American family-operated business, and centered primarily on over-the-top and extravagant funerals carried out by the families of the recently deceased. One notable funeral was that of Ronnie Ray Smith, a gold medal winner at the 1968 Summer Olympics (his funeral featured his casket "running" a 100-yard dash and being given a gold medal at the end).
