I honestly think his analysis of NoDS oversexualizes it. There are things that he comes up with that I doubt many in the audience have ever thought - certainly not those of us who were still only in our early teens when we saw it. And he actually has a whole line of thought devoted to just what men might think about the movie that I think is really out there and most probably nothing Sam Hall or DC ever intended - probably not even subconsciously. But then, when one is writing an academic treatise, I suppose one is bound to come up with some overanalysis here and there in order to justify that what one is writing IS an academic treatise.
I haven't gotten around to reading any of the other sections of the book yet, but I'm certainly curious to see how he's going to analyze the series...
