MOSCOW (AP) -- Members of Russia's Communist Party are calling for a nationwide boycott of the new Indiana Jones movie, saying it aims to undermine communist ideology and distort history.
"Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" stars Harrison Ford as an archaeologist competing in 1957 with an evil KGB agent, played by Cate Blanchett, to find a skull endowed with mystic powers.
It hit Russian screens Thursday.
Communist Party members in St. Petersburg said on a web site this week that the Soviet Union in 1957 "did not send terrorists to the States," but launched a satellite, "which evoked the admiration of the whole world."
Moscow Communist lawmaker Andrei Andreyev said Saturday "it is very disturbing if talented directors want to provoke a new Cold War."
Just like the title says - random thoughts ranging from the idiotic to the inspired.

We've made the commies mad...
Heard about this on a radio news break on Friday, saw it on MSN.com today. I've heard of movies generating bad reviews, but to evoke threats of nuclear holocasts... Oh well, I hope the movie's good...hope to see it next week.
