Yeah, true. I think I maybe misunderstood your OP - I thought you were looking to replace ages ratings entirely, as opposed to combining them with something more informative. Something like that could be useful, for sure.

Depends what ratings are intended to do - if they are just to be informative for potential viewers then the kind of system you propose sounds good.

But, if the main purpose is to legally restrict access based on age, such ratings wouldn’t really do the job.

Plus, of course, there’s quite a range within each category - language could mean something as innocuous as “bum”, or something as deeply offensive as “Belgium” or “Barbara Streisand”.

I suppose you could have age ratings for each subcategory - L18, V12, N0, S0, D15, but it’d start to get complicated pretty fast. Plus, presumably, whatever the highest of those ratings was would still be the overall rating. At which point we’re back where we started.

They need to consider the difference between having something to hide and having something to protect. Privacy is something to protect, regardless of what it might be in aid of.

I wouldn’t say it’s equivalent - one finger is still worse IMO.

That’s true, but also it suffers from the fact that they were forced to reveal the killer mid season, thus robbing the show of its core dramatic driver. For a while they just didn’t know what to do with the world they’d built.

Deep cut first reference from The Missing Pieces - nice 😁

Would strongly advise watching the movie before S3 (but after S1 and 2) to get the most out of the final season.

I don’t think that’s the message of the show at all tbh.

EDIT to add that there’s a TP community here on Lemmy. It’s quiet, but it’s a place folk on this thread might find both wonderful and strange…

At its frequent best, it’s the finest TV around. It had a very rocky spell in the second half of season 2, but the final episode of that season was a masterpiece.

I absolutely love Season 3 as well.

IMO though, the film, Fire Walk With Me is the absolute pinnacle of the world of Twin Peaks, and indeed of Lynch’s output. I don’t really agree that you need to see Season 3 to understand FWWM, it’s pretty straightforward if you know the first two seasons fairly well, but I certainly think it adds an interesting further dimension to the film.

I’ll take this opportunity to plug a SUPERB video series on the show from a creator called Joel Bocko, who goes by Lost in the Movies on YT. His work is always fascinating, but the thing he’s best known for is his absolutely epic series Journey Through Twin Peaks. It’s a 40-chapter (and still growing) series covering the show, less from a “let’s work out the puzzles and clues” point of view and more from a cinematic, thematic and emotional perspective, including comparisons with old movies which may have influenced Frost and Lynch.

It’s marvellous, and deserves a hell of a lot more attention than it gets (and certainly more than the notorious 4 hour Twin Perfect video)

Blue Velvet was released in 1986, years before TP. I think you mean Wild at Heart, as it’s frequently said that he left the show to work on that. However that’s not actually the case either. He just stepped back from the show because he was unhappy with being forced to reveal the killer.

Worth noting that Imgur links look like this in the UK (possibly elsewhere too?) They work if you use a VPN though.

Now that’s a phone case I could get behind.

And before posting, I got curious and of course someone has actually done it… https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1510193079/ziggy-handlink-quantum-leap-phone-case?show_sold_out_detail=1&ref=nla_listing_details

That ad thing is weird, I’ve not seen anything like that at all. In fact I don’t even see video ads. Where is this, in your feed? Or when you open a thread?

I wonder if it’s to do with how the feed is set up? I use Small Cards view, don’t know if that’s maybe preventing me seeing the ads in the first place? I do sometimes see small static ads at the top of a thread, but that’s all.

I still use Sync every day, and I can’t think of any issues I’ve had with it. What sort of bugs do you mean?

I’m still using Sync (for Lemmy) but I’ll need to check Voyager out, since it seems Sync is now abandoned.

Can I fly in and then fly home again immediately? If so, sure. Otherwise, no.

Always enjoy those videos from Japan of 100 (or more) school kids playing football ⚽ against a handful of professionals.

Already commented on this, but thought of some more:

Isley Brothers: Ohio/Machine Gun - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XC6qOvfgDJI (this is a cover of 2 tunes, the first by Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, the second by Jimi Hendrix)

And just released today (like, 2 hours ago) - Massive Attack, Tom Waits - Boots on the Ground: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-57FrioeuE

Ah yeah, that would have been a better choice actually, good shout.

A few suggestions:

• Bob Dylan - A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall
• RATM - Bulls on Parade
• Dead Kennedys - Kill the Poor

And for a more optimistic, but still defiant take, R.E.M.'s Living Well is the Best Revenge.
