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

R2K: The TV Special is a concert television special by Filipino recording artist Regine Velasquez. Concurrent to the release of the singer's tenth studio album R2K, it originally aired on January 2, 2000, in the Philippines on Viva TV. It featured live performances of songs from the cover album, and included a behind-the-scenes footage detailing the process of filming the music videos issued in the bonus Video CD (VCD) of the record. The two-hour special is spliced with a compilation of interviews from celebrities, musicians, and crew members involved with the production of the album and music videos. Principal photography took place at the Nayong Pilipino Cultural Park in Pasay City. In it, Velasquez premiered the unreleased music videos for the tracks "MacArthur Park" and "Music of Goodbye". She also performed a stripped down and acoustic rendition of "The Lord's Prayer". Guest stars included Ogie Alcasid, Janno Gibbs, Dingdong Dantes, Julio Diaz, KC Montero, and Antoinette Taus. It was executive produced by Vic del Rosario and directed by Louie Ignacio. The show was released to the public as a VHS titled R2K: The Millennium Special. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
