Guccione refuses to call Caligula pornography. Because of its historical accuracy in the depiction of Roman decadence, Caligula begs to be taken seriously, unlike such gross, reactionary trash as Dawn of the Dead or sexist, abusive trash like Deep Throat. This film insults the audience with its pretensions...
PEOPLE HAVE ALWAYS denounced the horror genre as sexist, racist, sadistic, whatever, but that attitude has always struck me as priggish and unimaginative. At least until I sat through 12 torturous, claustrophobic hours at the Orson Welles and realized that even I--a horror buff since age six--had my limits.

...Archer says that his subjects showed a fairly high ability to read the pictures correctly, but parents were better at it than nonparents, presumably because they had learned to decipher the babbling of babies. Women were more adept than men, which seems to indicate that "female intuition" is no sexist myth. And actors rated high, while psychologists scored surprisingly low-perhaps, Archer says, because they are trained to suppress their own emotions and tend to lose the ability to recognize emotion in others...
