Using prime fatorization was brilliant, I didn't think of that. But still, that solution is based on "trial and error", it's not a fully mathematical answer, mostly because it is not possible to achieve one. Of course one could argue you could build an algorithm to find such answer, like a graph search algorithm (which is, in a way, also trial and error), and that would give a mathematical solution, but still... maybe I should just shut up and not be such a geek. Sorry.

Time for the devil's advocate to step in... OK, so, if they cannot prove it wasn't a suicide, logically, they can prove it was possible for him to kill himself with that gun. Along with his suicide note which features, possibly, his own handwrite (althought I never read or seen it, so...), his clear suicidal tendecies, a Cortney Love alibi (pretty sure she might have one), no signs of strugle, and the fact it is VERY difficult to shoot someone in the mouth... there's no reason to doubt it was a suicide.

That still only partially answers the question; Spiderman is arguably the most popular of all superheroes, so why would Marvel/Fox limit it's budget so much? Makes no sense, especially in the post-BatmanTAS era when people expected great animation.


Oh so many factors could influence on the quality of a cartoon... Was it animated in Asia (except japan) like some cartoons are, or in america? Who produced it? What was the timeslot? Who were the sponsors? Was a toy/videogame company backing it up so it could profit on the franchise, as it happens with 90% of american cartoons? How much were they willing to spend? Who produced it? How many episoed were initially planned? How well did the pilot or the test audience preview go? What were the producers aiming for, in a visual aspect?

1- Has anyone taken any legal actions against Curtney Love because of the supposed suicide/killing? Has anyone been able to prove that it was or wasn't a suicide? And most important, has anyone been able to replicate the suicide (with no bullets or with computers of course) based on where the body was and based on the bullet hole(s)?

2- Hmn, blasted out of a canon. So, whatever I put in my will, they'll have to do it? If I claim I want to be served as burger in a McDonalds in Vietnan, they'll have to do it?

Carrie is quite a good film, although it is too short and the soundtrack is, in some parts of the film, ridiculously dated.

It features one of my favorite "one take" scene (the other being a particular scene in "Rope"), which starts by the prom queen ballot being picked up at Carrie's table, goes all the way through the party, the ballots being switched, shows Travolta and that girl hiding under the stage, goes all the way to the other girl hiding behind the stage, goes aaaall the way up, shows the bucket filled with blood from the top view, showing the stage below and the bucket both on focus, then zooms in at Carrie's table... All in one take, with no computers or steadycam or anything.

The guy who wrote "Midnight Cowboy", well that's somewhat understandable... I did not know about Virginia Woolf, though.

There was this famous brazillian writer/jornalist/comediant/cartoonist/political cartonist in the 30s or 40s, he created a somewhat famous character (famous here). He had problems with depression and loneliness, one day he just turned on the oven and closed all the windows and doors at his apartment... He died asfixiated, but on his front door was found a note, his last joke: "Please! Do not light any matches".

Lupin was actually the character of a french author's books writen in the 19th century, he was a master thief and stuff... The books became very popular in Japan post-ww2, and a manga series an anime were released based on those books (which resulted in a huge copyright fight over the years, apparently he's both public domain AND not public domain at the same time). The word Lupin is a synonym for "thief" in Japan, like... kleenex for paper tissue.
