Comments on: Capricorn 2? http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2007/02/10/capricorn-2/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

One example of its idiocy: The time cops' time capsule is accelerated by a rail-gun-like device into the time gate. Only sometimes the gate fails and the capsule goes through the gate and smashes into a concrete block placed on the other side of the gate. Not a water-tank, not a safety net, not a decelerating rail-gun, but a concrete block. Wuh? Hyams also directed Time Cop, which was execrable.

I'd rather Hyams remake '2010' (which I liked, mostly for depicting the real Jupiter ('2001' was a pre-Voyager Jupiter) and it's moons). We so do NOT need a remake of ‘Capricorn One’.

I’d rather Hyams remake ‘2010′ (which I liked, mostly for depicting the real Jupiter (’2001′ was a pre-Voyager Jupiter) and it’s moons).

Some people say the government framed OJ because his role in this movie exposed the truth that the moon landings were faked. If that's the case, they took a heck of a long time to get around to it.

I have not and never will forgive him for that. I didn't realize he did Capicorn 1, but that is also an ugly scar of a movie. Ugh.
