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

HBICtv: Ultra Rich Asian Girls (Chinese: 公主我最大; pinyin: Gōngzhǔ wǒ zuìdà) was a Canadian reality television web series created in 2014, featuring daughters of Chinese Canadians living in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It ran for 3 seasons on YouTube, broadcast in Mandarin and English for a Chinese-speaking audience. Promoted as akin to Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Crazy Rich Asians, and The Real Housewives, the show follows ultra-wealthy Chinese immigrants in Vancouver, travelling with them across various cities. The show averaged a 4.6/10 rating on IMDb, and was criticised for its heavy promotion and "flaunting of wealth", with critics stating its premise promotes misogyny, interracial tensions, and racial stereotypes.
