8. For some, it's even the IDEA of "fucking with the classics"
For others, it might be a matter of who did the remake and how....

For an example outside of the movie world, when Devo did a cover version of the Rolling Stones Satisfaction, I hated it the first time I heard it (as a Stones fan) but then it grew on me (as a Devo fan). But when Britney Spears recorded her version of the song, it induced projectile vomiting, probably because everything about her is contrived and plastic.

And that's what MTV has turned into, largely due to their promotion of Britney and that ilk. Wouldn't be surprised if she's on the list for their project. Probably Magenta though, not Janet. She might have been their Janet 10 years ago, but not now. They'll probably fucking give it to Miley Cyrus. :puke:
