I back up other viewers, but give a lower overall rating because sitting through them all was such a chore. "The Hand" has real poignancy, beauty, and was by far the most finished of the movie-lets, but it was sooooo slooooow. It had to go first, audiences would have rebelled later on. The Soderburg picked up the pace, and Arkin was a low-brow treat, though the piece had a "Sat. Night Live" sketch quality. The Antonioni was perfectly ridiculous in the way that Playmate videos are ridiculous. but made even less sense than they do--I have to agree with the "horny old man" jeers. Aren't he and Hef about the same age? One good thing was the paintings used in the credits of each movie; these had some beauty and class of their own. Didn't catch the name of the painter.
