Seems the Communist Party (yes, there still is one in Russia) is pissed about how Commies are portrayed in the new Indiana Jones movie. Bummer for them... But, just to show how serious they are (and when have they not been serious), they told Harrison Ford that he has “no future in Russia any more. Speaking plainly, it is better for you not to come here. You will be beaten and despised.” The protests appeared to have little impact on the film’s commercial prospects. It was released on Thursday on 808 screens in Russia, a record for a Hollywood film. The Communist Party has withered since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, but it remains the second largest party in the Duma, the Russian parliament.
