" Indiana Jones makes Russian communists see red" - via Reuters
Russian media said it was being shown on 808 screens, the widest ever release for a Hollywood movie.At least they're allowing the movie to be shown, though some Party members want to ban it.In past episodes Indiana Jones has escaped from Nazi soldiers, an Egyptian snake pit, a Bedouin swordsman and a child-enslaving Indian demigod.
"Harrison Ford and Cate Blanchett (are) second-rate actors, serving as the running dogs of the CIA. We need to deprive these people of the right of entering the country," said another party member, Andrei Gindos.
Vladimir Mukhin, another member of the local Communist Party, said in comments posted on the Internet site that he would ask Russia's Culture Ministry to ban the film for its "anti-Soviet propaganda."I HATE totalitarian socialists, slightly more than I hate fake capitalism verging on socialism.
