Movie theater chains have taken a stand with regard to masks and weapons that may be worn or wielded for the new "Star Wars" movie and a judge declares that Justin Bieber has finished his probation for vandalism.
Movie theater chains are not taking any chances with weapons or masks when the new Star Wars: The Force Awakens opens soon in nationwide theaters. Most movie theater chains have banned masks and any manner of fake weapons, including light sabers, for any showing of the movie.
Tickets for the long awaited movie have already gone on sale but fans may want to check with their local theaters before deciding to come to the theater in full Star Wars regalia. Theater chains, like AMC Theaters, have already come out way ahead of the potential madness by releasing its policy regarding costumes and weapons being brought into any of their theaters, according to USA Today.
AMC will not allow masks, or any costumes that will detract from the experience or make any patrons feel uncomfortable. Masks and blasters, they say, can be left at home and if a lightsaber is brought it must be shut off once the patron enters the theater. AMC has never allowed weapons of any kind into any of its nationwide theaters. Cinemark Theaters declared that costumes were welcomed but no masks, face paint, or weapons, real or fake, of any kind will be allowed into any of their buildings.

Justin Bieber was released from probation by a judge who declared that he had performed his 40 hours of community service related to his vandalism conviction for damaging his neighbor’s home with eggs. Bieber’s attorney presented the proof to the judge and the judge concluded that all of the conditions of his sentence have been met, according to USA Today.
Earlier in the year Bieber, 21, was successfully sued by his neighbors and was forced to pay them $80,000 in damages for the vandalism done in January 2014. The neighbors also accused him of loud and dangerous driving, threatening them and spitting in their faces. Bieber, in addition, must undergo anger management classes as part of his sentencing.
Bieber did 40 hours at a homeless shelter as a janitor and maintenance man. The director of the shelter had nothing but praise for Bieber’s work ethic and his willingness to “get his hands dirty.”
