That's because women are (generally speaking) wiser than men, Ebbie. In my opinion. There are some women who go in for the violent stuff on film, but they are in a minority. Yes, boys absolutely LOVE to watch things "blow up real good". ;-) They like the excitement factor.

I would also say that while I might find a violent film entertaining (depending on whether there's someone or something in it that I can empathize with)....I sure as hell don't find violence in real life entertaining, same as alanabit. I try hard to avoid violence in real life.
