Cavegirls like a good tear-jerker; a story that somehow relates to their lives (or they wish it did). Us Caveboys are moved to tears when the rocks in the cave start shaking because of the dual 15" subwoofers. Caveboys don't mind seeing all that stuff (wires, etc) because we know that is needed to enhance the story. Cavegirls are perfectly happy with the story, cast, and characterizations. (A cute caveboy in a tight loin cloth doesn't hurt.) What we Caveboys need to realize is that the magic is not seeing all the gear, but experiencing it. Let the TV and speakers disappear into the wall, but roar to life with one button and some cave-shattering explosions (while making sure you can still understand the dialogue) and we'll all be happy. Ug. Caveboy-
