U.S. THEATERS TO SET UP COAT CHECK AT ALL SCREENINGS OF STAR WARS

imageHOLLYWOOD, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – For Star Wars fanatics, it has been customary to see the film screenings at theaters dressed in their favorite characters, be it Darth Vader or Yoda.

But times have changed, thanks to increased threats of foreign and domestic terrorism.

So for those planning to see the latest series of the film (The Force Awakens) opening this weekend in theaters nationwide, be prepared to bring an extra $5 for coat check. That’s right, you will not be allowed inside the movie theater wearing your Star Wars costume.  You have to check it in at the box office.

Movie theaters across the U.S. have decided to set up coat checks as part of heightened safety and security alerts.  In order to do so, theater management had to hire additional staff to handle the coat checks, hence the need to charge an extra $5 to those coming in their Star Wars costumes.

If you are so passionate about wearing your costume, by all means, don’t leave home without it.  You just have to leave it outside the screening room.

DONALD TRUMP SIGNIFICANTLY DROPS IN LATEST POLL, THANKS TO STAR WARS

imageWASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – Donald Trump’s domination as the frontrunner in the race for the Republican nomination for president has finally come to an end.

Latest national polls show Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina tied at 23% each to claim the top spot in the Republican field of presidential candidates. Trump has slid to 7th place with only 4%.

The polls were taken shortly after the official release of the trailer of the upcoming Hollywood film, ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” which has a black man and a woman as the lead characters.

Prior to the trailer release, Trump’s racist supporters flooded the Internet with tweets and posts calling for a boycott of the film because it has cast too many women, blacks, Latinos and  Asians, and presumably gay men and women.

The racist tweets fueled by the #BoycottStarWarsVII hashtag warned that the new Star Wars movie promotes “white genocide” and was made “to demoralize and destroy Whites.”

The votes for Carson and Fiorina have sent a clear message to Trump and his persistent attacks on women and minorities on the campaign trail.

Meanwhile, Trump’s Facebook and Twitter accounts had to be temporarily suspended because angry netizens were posting “Bye, Felicia” memes on his pages.
