Siskelandebertatthemovies.bat

Beep, beep, beep, beep. My alarm woke me up at the usual time today. Today was my graduation day, I knew everything i was going to do today.

After the graduation ceremony ended, I headed home. The ride back via bus was almost an hour, but i couldn't wait to get back home. I had arrived at my house at around 4:50. Quickly changing into normal clothes, I sped to my computer to check the latest news on the internet.

That's when I noticed something.

I booted up my computer and saw something different with my desktop. An icon had appeared entitled "siskelandebertatthemovies.bat". Hmm, i was not a big fan of Siskel and Ebert, but i booted it up anyway to check it out.

It started a executable known as "Siskelandebert" which started what seemed to be an episode of Siskel and Ebert: At The Movies. Oh well, i knew what i was doing for the next few hours.

When i thought the show would start, a menu appeared

Siskel and Ebert: The Collection

It then displayed a menu consisting of "episodes". These looked normal, or so I thought.

It displayed all episodes of At the Movies, from the beginning all the way to Ebert Presents: At The Movies. I thought it would stop there, but no. It listed reviews for everything in the whole wide world, even including things that weren't out at the time.

I chose the "North" review and expected it to be the same. It was!

I then chose their review of "The Crying Game". The same as it was back in 1992.

I then decided to check out some video game reviews they made, starting with Half-Life. Siskel gave a thumbs up, Ebert thumbs down.

I chose Postal 2 next, Siskel was not present, only Ebert was. Weird, i thought they had Rich Roeper after Siskel. Ebert gave a thumbs down.

I then chose something recent. I decided to choose "Yesterday". Neither Siskel nor Ebert were present, and it crashed soon after.

Everything changed with my PC, now it was all related to Siskel, Roeper, and Ebert.

I was going insane. Before i knew it, i was not in my house anymore, rather i was on the set of At the Movies.

"Welcome to At the Movies with Ebert. Today, we have a guest critic."
