I don't know which of the theaters on W42nd is the Empire, but one of the theaters I passed in that area listed EXCALIBUR when it was still a new film and said under it "It's new. It's raunchy!" In both cases I know exactly what they are referring to, it is a single scene in each film and they are using some poetic license to sell tickets. > >BTW, has anybody seen this movie yet?
