Seems like the sad, sad vestiges of the revolutionary vanguard are none-too-happy about the new Indiana Jones movies, calling it ‘anti-Soviet propaganda’. Communist party member Andrei “Still Backing the Wrong Horse” Gindos had this to say:
“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.”
Oh man. Running dogs. I missed that kind of talk. Of course, there’s something inherently funny about a dude complaining about being unfairly characterized in a Hollywood film, yet talking like a stereotype from a 1960s spy novel. I also find it curious that the Russian communists are taking exception to this film rather than, say, the majority of American films made between 1945 and 1989
Here’s a few things for these communists to keep in mind:
- Nobody likes a sore loser.
- The complaints of a thoroughly discredited political ideology will get sympathy from exactly no one.
- When you lose a global political struggle, people will probably poke a little fun.
- Communism? Really? We’re still doing that?
Chill out, guys. Seriously. Go buy a Coca-Cola and enjoy the silly fun of Indy IV, brought to by the wondrous workings of the free market.
I hate Illinois Communists

I like this mostly because it supports my belief that life is really like it is in the movies. Don’t they know better than to mess with Jack Ryan?
May 24th, 2008 at 6:09 amThey have a right to be pissed off — Ford and Blanchett were indeed second-rate actors in that horrible turd of a movie.
