Despite viewing these movies countless times, I have no idea what they are about. I think one problem I have with them is that I become so mesmerized by what is happening on the screen, and the Mad-Magazine-esque scenes going on in the background, that I neglect to watch the subtitles. As a result, I have to make up the story in my head as I go along.
