A U.S. judge on Thursday struck down a Utah law that landed a movie theatre in trouble for serving alcohol during the racy superhero film Deadpool. But it also bans serving booze during films featuring nudity or sex scenes. Utah argued that Deadpool violated the law because the movie includes nudity and simulated sex, including a suggestive scene in the film's credits involving a cartoon unicorn. It shows the same movies that other, non-sexually oriented movie theatres show but with alcohol." Utah's law is similar to an Idaho measure that lawmakers repealed last year when a theatre sued after its liquor licence was threatened for showing Fifty Shades of Grey while serving alcohol.
