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

Point Blank is a Canadian television comedy series that aired on The Comedy Network in 2002. Evolving out of the earlier Double Exposure, the show starred Linda Cullen and Bob Robertson as Diane-Barbara Jane and Steele Drummond, respectively, the anchors of a television tabloid newsmagazine which covered news stories, such as alien abduction, human cloning, styrofoam mining and two-ply toilet paper, that went "beyond the truth and below the standards". Cullen and Robertson were the show's sole constant core cast, while a wide variety of Canadian comedians and actors made appearances as characters or journalists in news reports. Thirteen episodes of the series were produced and aired. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
