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.
How it feels
A Hong Kong TV studio produced this martial arts comedy in 1995 but did not broadcast it until 1997 due to a lead actor being shelved. The original 20 episodes were cut into forty shorter segments and aired in a non-prime time slot. The story follows heroes involved in comedic swordplay adventures.

What happens
《英雄貴姓》（英語：Weapons of Power）是香港電視廣播有限公司於1995年攝製的古裝武俠喜劇電視劇，由古巨基、樊少皇、陳啟泰、張慧儀、傅明憲、劉家榮領銜主演，監製楊錦泉。 劇集起用1995年被力捧的「小生」古巨基和「花旦」傅明憲擔演男、女主角。可是，古巨基在拍攝期間遭電視台「雪藏」，故劇集拍畢後一直未有播放時間表，直至1997年4月才被安排在非黃金時段播出。劇集播放長度由原本20集、每集45分鐘刪剪成40集、每集22至24分鐘，在六點半新聞報道前的半小時播出。 1995年憑《娛樂插班生》一劇冒起的演員林家棟，在本劇只是一名綠葉演員，且只出現一幕。2000年2月至4月期間首次重播，亦是播出40集的版本。 此劇於2018年6月30日在TVB經典台及2018年7月24日在TVB星河頻道重播。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
