They Live (1988)

This forum is for discussing Chuck's videos as they are publicly released. And for bashing Neelix, but that's just repeating what I already said.

When the way you "allegorize" your critique of Capitalism makes it a Conspiracy that blames it on an invisible other, it inevitably becomes indistinguishable form a Right Wing Conspiracy theory.

In other words it's Carpenter's own fault.

That only refreshes the page. Ctrl-F5 bypasses the browser cache and fetches the page and auxiliary content afresh.

Oh. I've never noticed a situation where F5 isn't sufficient, scripts or not. Interesting.

It can depend on a lot of things, like cache expiration, cache-busting queries, your ISP, etc. But bypassing it on a refresh is the best way to be absolutely certain (as you can be from the client-side).
