Since "Apocalypse Now Redux" is hitting the shelves, maybe someone could tell me how to properly pronounce this word?
Apocalypse Now Redux. What a bloody stupid name for a film
How about Apocalypse Now & Then?
Apocalypse Now or Never?
Apocalypse Novellae?
Apocalypse Later?
I've never heard anyone pronounce the word as "re-ducks" without an ironic smile.
As with many words, there isn't one authoritatively correct pronunciation. You know, the po-tay-to/po-tah-to rule.
And if someone said po-tah-to in normal conversation, you wouldn't give them the ironic smile?
