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 film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Oho, sanoi Eemeli on suomalainen komediaelokuva vuodelta 1960. Musiikilla höystetyn komedian on ohjannut Ville Salminen ja pääosassa on Eemeli eli koomikko Esko Toivonen. Kriitikoita elokuva ei miellyttänyt, arviot olivat tylyt, kuten muillekin Reino Helismaan edustaman junttifarssi-tyylilajin teoksille. Eemelin elokuvassa esittämä laulu ”Oho, sanoi Eemeli” oli hyvin suosittu. Reino Helismaan sanoittama kappale on vuonna 1959 julkaistun singlen A-puolella, B-puolella on ”Taas Rovaniemen markkinoilla”. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
