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

Rubi is a 2010 Philippine television drama series broadcast by ABS-CBN. The series is based on a 2004 Mexican TV series of the same title. Directed by Erick C. Salud, Don M. Cuaresma, Manny Q. Palo and Darnel Joy R. Villaflor, it stars Angelica Panganiban, Jake Cuenca, Shaina Magdayao and Diether Ocampo. It aired on the network's Primetime Bida line up and worldwide on TFC from February 15 to August 13, 2010, replacing Pinoy Big Brother: Double Up and was replaced by Precious Hearts Romances Presents: Kristine. The main difference of this teleserye to others is that the lead character, Rubi, is an anti-heroine dubbed as "Ang Bidang-Kontrabida" (The Villainous Protagonist). She is vain, scheming and manipulative but still has heart, but chose not to listen to her conscience to reach her high ambitions. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
