The chapter on Quentin Tarantino was especially relevant to things that have been on my mind recently, as well as the bits on Spike Lee and Brian De Palma. I don't feel like I've studied Edward Said, Andrew Ross, or Henry Louis Gates Jr. enough to have gotten as much out of those chapters but they were still very interesting. The queer theory chapter was definitely relevant to things I saw/see happening in my feminist community at college.
Chapters 5 and 6 I definitely could have used a whole lot of hand-holding and explanations. It's been awhile since I read anything so obtuse though Fraiman clearly doesn't aspire to incomprehensibility like some theorists seem to.
