Rule of the Dumb: Sex in the Middle, Violence at the End

One problem with watching a lot of movies is that the formulas become harder to ignore.

A key formula followed again and again in mainstream movies is to have sex in the middle of a film, and violence at the end. Violence of course is also found at other times, but in a movie that contains violence the end almost always features it. Sex is sometimes featured early in a film, but very rarely if ever at the end.

I could try to analyze this approach, but I’d like to keep my dinner in my stomach.
