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
Videoteces was the Spanish version of the famous North American TV Show "America's Funniest Videos". It was produced for Telemundo of Puerto Rico by Executive Producer Hector Marcano, Producer-Writer Jackie Torres, and Producer-Writer José Vallenilla. The show aired on 1993 and was among the top ten shows in ratings for its entire run. It had guest hosts in almost every show, the most frequent being Luisa de los Rios. As for the meaning of the title, it's a cross between "Video" and "Idioteces" which is a rough latin Spanish version of the word "Idiocies" referring to someone doing something considered stupid or idiotic.
