The Ghastly Love Of Johnny X is an homage to 50s sci-fi juvenile delinquent musicals which never existed. It's filled with vintage cars, stockings with seams, high heeled shoes, rear-screen projections, and entirely too many songs. The thing that really grinds my gears though is the mispronunciation of the name Xavier. It's not pronounced X-avier, it's pronounced Z-avier. I totally understand when Stan Lee does it when pronouncing it X-avier. It's because of the X-Men. It's still not okay, but I understand it. So if everyone could do me a big favor and stop pronouncing it X-avier, it would make me slightly less crazy. But only slightly.
