Communist Defense Force, unite!
Russian Communist party members condemned the new Indiana Jones' film on Friday as crude anti-Soviet propaganda that distorted history and called for it to be banned from Russian screens.
"What galls is how together with America we defeated Hitler, and how wesympathized when Bin Laden hit them. But they go ahead and scare kidswith Communists. These people have no shame," said Viktor Perov, aCommunist Party member in Russia's second city of St Petersburg.

To be fair, the film takes place in the 1950s so communism was in power.

So solly, evil communism is not out-of-date. And weren't those complaints made by Russian Communists?

Good point Rene.
And has everyone already forgotten how they weren't just "evil commies"? They were the Evil Empire!

For something more contemporary may I suggest "Indiana Jones and the Real Estate Portfolio of Doom"?
Hey, just a thought...
