    So here's my situation: This week I have 2 History Vs. Hollywood things due where I have to watch a movie( Cleopatra(watched today, 4 f***ing hours long) and El Cid(Not watched, no idea how long)), summarize -in detail- the entire movie, figure out what actually happened during the time period by looking on teh interwebs, and then analyze the historical accuracy. Then I've also got a current event for IT(not big or hard but still ever looming), Recording for my Epic Rap Battles of History( quite literally what the name implies, my history teacher is awesome, aside from the movie thing), plus all my regular, non-project related homework including AP Bio, AP Calc, and of course AP History reading. Then there's catching up in Chinese, possible IT test, Engineering project(forgot about this), and the ever annoying world literature. And this is just Monday. My solution to the amount of s*** I've gotten myself into? Stay up and do EVERYTHING TONIGHT. Comments?

      @macpony55 TL;DR, Hollywood sucks at history.

        @colfax Still have to write the paper, some classmates have gotten 5 pages on movies that were an hour and a half

          @macpony55 The only thing that the movie Cleopatra had to do with actual history was they used some of the actual names in the movie...

      @macpony55 "Cleopatra" was a pretty cool movie. What'd you think?

        @scribus It was interesting, second part was a little confusing with all the people that all really looked about the same

          @macpony55 heh Yeah, large casts are easier in written form, I think, because then they're identified by name right there in front of you instead of you having to tie a name to a face within 2 minutes of seeing them.

            @scribus Exactly, I think I may have to get some outside help with the names, because I sure as heck don't want to have to go back through the actual film

              @macpony55 I'm sure you can find a good in-depth synopsis and/or cast listing online.

                @scribus @colfax Screw it, I wish I was amazing enough to actually do all this in one night. I have until the end of the week but right now I'm tired and can barely keep my eyes open, I'll just spread it out.

                  @macpony55 Well, get that rest and tackle the rest later. Gotta do what you've gotta do.

                      @macpony55 Discretion is the better part of valor. Or something.
