I saw a 2 hour documentary about Warhol a few months ago in which his brother is interviewed wearing a "Byzantine" sweatshirt!

I just remembered, there was a James Bond movie, (I don't remember the name, but Richard Moore was Bond) with lots of filming at the ancient Greek Orthodox monastic community high atop of Meteora in Greece. There was lots of fighing in a church, (judging from the damage going on, it must have been a set) and well, as one can understand, I remember reading that this filming was MUCH to the monks' dismay....

Dear All:

Wasn't there an Orthodox wedding in an Orthodox church in NYPD Blue some years ago?

Also, I believe that the mini-series The Thorn Birds had Father Ralph going to Greece with his Archbishop-mentor (I forget his name) for ecumenical discussions with the Orthodox.

The crowning ceremony in the movie "My Life" was shot at St. Nicholas Ukrainian Catholic Cathederal.

Finally, there is an independent movie out called "The Secret" that is set in Chicago's Ukrainian Village wherein the parish church of Sts. Volodymyr and Olha was used.

Also, there was one episode in the series "Adderly", wherein was showed a coffin set before the iconostas at the beautiful Greek Orthodox Church (St. Georges'???) in downtown Toronto.

This is stretching it, but "Chandler & Monica" were almost married by a Greek Orthodox "priest" in FRIENDS. Except that they got the vestments all wrong - they had the "priest" wear a soft high back phelon & his klobuk looked like a hat worn by French mediaeval noblewomen. (Plus he only had a moustache, and if he were wearing a klobuk, he would have been a monastic, therefore bearded... (not to be picky)

Dear Herb,

FYI - my office was once used for an episode of "Adderly."

Just thought you might like to know . . .

Speaking of James Bond;

In the movie "From Russia With Love" there is a 5-minute or more scene inside Hagia Sophia in Istanbul about an hour into the movie. And there was some people chasing each other inside so you can see how small the people are in comparison to the huge pillars. And there is a tour group in the background and the leader pronounces "Hagia Sophia" differently than I do. (And prior to this scene, there are at lease 2-3 outdoor scenes of the city with Hagia Sophia in the background.)

:p

Oh - I must watch it again tonight - it's on Brit TV and I haven't seen it for simply ages - I'll watch with renewed interest.

Way Cool!

Alex, You're the Man! (err, or rather "Mensch")

ps:

This is REALLY stretching it, but Worf's foster parents are the Rozhenkos, ergo....

Wow, we even have fellow "Trekkies (Trekkers as some prefer) on this Forum! Live long and prosper is the "Star Trek" version of Mnohaja L'ita!
