Publish or specifying the time for scenes under Parent Guide section
IMDB's "Parents Guide" is a very useful section that I often visit before finalizing on a movie, especially the area "Sex & Nudity" and "Violence & Gore". It ensures if the movie is appropriate for me to watch with my kids and prevents any awkward or embarrassing scenes. Along with this valuable information if I may suggest that IMDb could capture the time of the scene would be an excellent asset to this information. This would certainly help the parents prepare so they can skip the scene while watching the movie.

This would be an excellent addition. Very much appreciated if this could be implemented.

Strongly dislike the idea. What seems to happen is that the 99 percent of the things flagged are scenes of visible nudity. Two problems: First, it gives the impression that IMDb serves as a way for people to find the scenes to view them out of prurient interest, especially when 5 or 10 more scenes are flagged, making it surely impractical to skip past them all. Worse, it becomes another way for individual contributors to flag which items they think are most important, much like numerical ratings and the bold-facing, color-coding crap that tore IMDb apart several years ago, got raised up to the corporate level, and resulted in a complete reworking of the Parents Guide to eliminate just that sort of thing.

I am an adult and there are many rated R or TV-MA movies and shows that I am interested in watching. I always look up the parent guide to see if there are scenes I can not watch due to my PTSD. The number of those scenes in Movies and TV is growing quickly and sometimes I consider just skipping those scenes rather than skipping the entire show/movie because it seems quite interesting. If there will just be one or two and I won’t miss any important plot points if I don’t watch them, than I may choose to watch the show/movie and skip those scenes. I would greatly appreciate knowing when those scenes are so I can skip them. I am sure there are many other people that feel the same way as PTSD is actually quite common and just because we are over 17 that doesn’t mean all of the things we see in movies and on TV are things that we can handle, especially with the growing amount of graphic scenes.
