..might it be Gus van Sant's "Psycho"?
I don't care whether they made it as a big "fuck you" to the hollywood system (as the cameraman Christopher Doyle suggested), I really don't see the point.
any other suggestions for contenders in this category?

gullible in thinking this film deals with REALISTIC people experiencing REALISTIC emotions.
and in being able to endure Celine Dion.

i agree the remake of psycho is absolutely pointless....more an exercise for the director.
how 'bout trying to find a few remakes that are'nt pointless? harder i reckon.

not all movies necessarily set out to depict stuff realistically. things can be exaggerated to to increase the drama. titanic is nice, I wouldn't mind watching it right now.

good question!
let me think.. can't think of one of the top of my head..
a lot of people seem to think Carpenter's "The Thing" was better than the original, but I don't agree..

I don't know.
I love Cronenberg's version, but it's just so different. but I guess it is better, yes.
I also think the Seventies version of "Invasion of the body snatchers" is better.

Ciao! Manhattan, starring and made by one of Andy Warhol's proteges, was 100% absolutely positively indisputedly pointless. There's no plot apparently, except the wasted (as on a truckload of drugs, not wasted as in talent) protege babbling about her life. And the movie tries to throw in a subplot to make no sense - i see no plot, no story, no point, no message and no goal from this film. it is simply garbage.
i watched it for maybe 15 to 30 minutes and was completely befuddled by how bad it was.

what was funny was all the teenage girls who were let down because of the sad ending.
You would think the title gave it away.

It would have been a cool ending if "the Sixth Sence" hadn't done it ten times better a couple of months before.
I guessed the ending quite early too but i kept saying to myself "nah thats too stupid" haha!
