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

Everybody Speaks Nonsenses II – Hot Pot (Chinese: 全民亂講之全民大悶鍋) was a popular Taiwanese television sketch show, mainly focusing on topics related to Taiwanese politics. This show developed from Everybody Speaks Nonsenses. Its components parody several television broadcasts around the world, including a stock index analyst (as a political popularity index), Nazism (I "Love" Taiwan), and even the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council of the People's Republic of China. First broadcast in 2004 on cable television Chung T'ien Television (CtiTV), it has since gained prominence among Taiwanese viewers, and in January 2006 earned a mention by CNN's World Report on Taiwan-China relations. The show was succeeded by People's Party (全民最大黨). In 2007 the show was nominated for Best Entertainment Variety Programme at the 42nd Golden Bell Awards. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
