For many years, I believed that the proper pronunciation ‘in English’ for Betelgeuse was ‘bet-el-‘g’ (as in gay)-eezee.’

Then that Michael Keaton flick came along.

I drew my opinion from reading Pierre Boulle’s Planet Of The Apes, back when I was a teenager. I was confounded by the term, so I looked it up. That must have been right around the time when the first movie came out. I like the Beetle Juice pronunciation, sort of, but old habits die hard.
