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

Koomikko on suomalainen komediaelokuva vuodelta 1983. Sen on ohjannut Matti Ijäs, ja pääosaa esittää Aake Kalliala. Koomikko oli Matti Ijäksen ensimmäinen teatterilevityksen saanut elokuva. Ijäs kertoo saaneensa idean 1980-luvun alun viihdeohjelmasta Valehtelijoiden klubi, ja elokuvassa näyttelee monia siitä tuttuja näyttelijöitä kuten Helge Herala, Leo Lastumäki, Olavi Ahonen ja Maija-Leena Soinne. Myös käsikirjoittajina Ijäksen lisäksi olivat Valehtelijoiden klubin kirjoittajat Heikki Kinnunen ja Pertti Reponen. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
