It seems not, though;
Upon its initial release in the United States, the first 20 minutes of Trainspotting were re-edited with alternative dialogue to allow the American audience to comprehend the strong Scottish accents and slang. In addition, to ensure that the film received an R rating, Boyle trimmed two scenes: a graphic display of a syringe filled with heroin being inserted into a vein and Kelly Macdonald straddling McGregor during an orgasm.

I saw subtitles on the movie poster - it read "Don't bother with this crap"

So I didn't and my life was thus improved a little.

Bollocks, how can you know your life was improved by not seeing something?

The best movie of the 90's, a seminal work.

I don't like seminal. Too many laundry complaints from the wife

Why is she so bilious? By this time I would think she'd be sanguine on the matter.
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.
