God forbid the Russians should look BAD in the movies...have they not heard of the Bond series?

"A huge Hollywood marketing campaign that successfully kicked-off the summer blockbuster movie season appears to have run into a minor hiccup. Communists in Russia's northern capital are planning to disrupt showings of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull because they say portrayals of Russian villains are historically inaccurate.

The communists of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region, which has no affiliation with the Communist Party, called the movie "a belch of the Cold War." A statement on its Web site also said the film depicts Soviet soldiers and agents "in a caricatured and unattractive way" and encourages "idolization of the United States," the Moscow Times reported...."

I'm sure if China had a movie where the the US and all Americans were made out to be bad guys, we'd start getting pissed too.

I'm not saying I support the protests, but it's not a black & white issue with no subtlety.
