Centralia's fire is underground. Some 4-6 residents still live in the town, despite many areas being too hot to walk or drive on.

You also can’t zoom in on an individual picture since the whole dam thing is the picture.

I use both but when it's just one super long picture, it's very low resolution and doesn't flow as it's supposed to

Nope, not 100% fact. The movie Silent Hill was inspired by... wait for it... the game Silent Hill.
Medionsinger
It sort of is. The falling ash and smoke that covers the town of Silent Hill in the movies is inspired by Centralia.
ReaperNo1
It sort of isn't.

I said the movies. Not the games. http://www.centraliapa.org/centralia-pa-silent-hill-pa/

why are we being downvoted? lol

Hey! A few more people with common sense showed up.
ReaperNo1
I have no idea. It's even better because the game itself what heavily inspired by Steven King's The Mist. I +1'd you for solidarity.
h00di333
got you back. prolly OP being salty
ReaperNo1
Maybe. I'm calling BS on the LOTR one too. It's not ONLY because of Sam. It would have failed in the first few chapters without Aragorn.
h00di333
I never made it through the trilogy, I'm a Wheel of Time man myself, so I can't quantify.
Mrviewmont72
The "mist" in the game was actually due to PlayStation being under powered and not being able to render as much background was they wanted.
ReaperNo1
I didn't say the "mist" in the game was inspired by it. I said the GAME was. Among many other things.
h00di333
Awwwwwww shit we're back in action

Speaking of Silent Hill, ever see the thing that it happens in the town/school that Kindergarten Cop takes place in?
Aesurah
They based the school off the Kindergarten Cop movie because they wanted to look American.

Hold up, I live in the town that kindergarten cop was shot in. Silent Hill better not be placed here too.

That doesn't work because the screen goes black just before it displays the white box precisely to prevent you from doing that.

As soon as I saw that, I came to see if anyone commented already.

Honestly who here even knows what an apple blossom looks like? (but yeah that is a zucchini)

Almost any Michigander. As the state flower, we had to learn it in school. Most of us outside the Detroit area see them often enough.

Why I understand the appeal eugenics has been used badly in the past. I fear if we did it again we would just fall down the same rabbit hole
MinorityOpinion
A bad point - eugenics has been tried, and found to be a crime against humanity.

Constructive eugenics are just hard. What you say is like saying people shouldn't use fire because people get burnt.

AmachiHitsugi
Never conquered but Japan surrendered without a fight to the Americans, opening up in the mid 1800's. Hitler seemed to have forgotten that.
MidlandRedux
Good grief, it wasn’t a surrender. All Perry wanted to do was negotiate a trade treaty and ask Japan to stop murdering shipwrecked sailors.
AmachiHitsugi
But Japan agreed to those terms, didn't they? Especially after having their war ships show up in Kanagawa.
MidlandRedux
Yeah. Perry do no harm to anyone and did Japan a lot of good. The Europeans would not have been so nice and it might have ended in blood.
MidlandRedux
The astonishing thing is that Japanese nationalists nursed a grudge about Perry for decades. They welcomed Pearl Harbor as revenge.

Pretty sure the Silent Hill movie was inspired by the silent hill games

What the actual fuck is with all the bullshit misinformation "today". Every other post is a fucking lie!

WAIT THAT IS NOT TRUE?

The book "Survival Horror" by Duncan Fyfe discusses this. Film adaptation was *also* inspired by the town.

Think I found the problem with the apple blossoms, that's a squash blossom, doesn't matter how you paint it, you're not going to get apples!
Pegussu
The movie's version of Silent Hill does sit on top of a coal mine that was set ablaze by Alessa's burning. It *was* inspired by Centralia.
Pacobellincarnate
Pretty sure the town was inspired by the game
JasonThorn
Centralia also was the inspiration for the novel STRANGE HIGHWAYS by Dean Koontz.
tlouman
yes, I thought the same thing
Fatmonkies
My first thought as well.
PatrickTrimble
Lol right?
Fairdinkums
All i know is that someone needs to put out that fire
Brodywilko
They've tryed a few time it used to by a coal mining town that caught fire by burning a nearby rubbish dump.
DoctorDumpster
Shitty part is the fire is underground. The mine caught fire and had been burning since. The town is abandoned now I believe.
NevynPA
Mostly all the residents were forced to move by the government. Their ZIP code was revoked, but a few stayed. They might be all gone 1/2

JustLettingPeopleBeWrong
Yeah, but it is a fact. The look and feel of the movie was based off Centralia, as well as much of the setting itself.
h00di333
What is the fact here? That they looked at the setting first seen in THE GAME and used that in the movie? The game inspired the movie.
tforeman9904
Inspired by the games, the Centralia was the inspiration for the setting in the movie though if I'm not mistaken.
h00di333
.....almost as if they wanted the setting of the movie to echo that of the... game? are you having a stroke?
GorgeFloyd
Call a bondulance.
tforeman9904
I'm just saying that a movie based on a game can have more than one inspiration.

GoliathSkittles
Is the town in the game over a underground coal fire? I thought it was just fog and snow, genuine question.
Aesurah
Originally it was just Fog, they had hardware limitations and the fog was used to hide it.
PSWIIsixty
I don't remember coal fires being mentioned in any of the games. Haven't played any after Origins so maybe mentioned in Homecoming/Downpour?
EvilStarLegacy
It's not in the game, but it was the explanation for the movie.
GoliathSkittles
Yeah I'm not 100% on it either, but if that's the case, way it should read "inspired an aspect of the movie Silent Hill" not 100% wrong >

1)It actually works out to 50.048% because there are 253 total comparisons between any two people. 364/365 to the power of 253 gives 49.952%
tenminutestofindausername
2)which is the chance that there ISN'T a match between all 253 comparisons.

I think you're correct, but it still doesn't feel right somehow.. but I will accept it

I know I feel the same way. I understand the maths, but it still messes with my mind.

like the fact that the sum of all integers to infinity is -1/14
Craazyy1
Not really. It's *associated* with a value of -1/12 through certain functions, and this value is useful in some fields. It's NOT equal to it
