Reception
Similar to American films of the time, Iris was submitted for review and was subject to cuts by American city and state film censorship boards. The Chicago Board of Censors issued an Adults Only permit for the British film.[2]
gollark: It's like saying English is machine-readable because NLP libraries can, with great effort, generate somewhat accurate parse trees.
gollark: I mean, it can be parsed and rendered, yes, but you can't effectively get relevant information out.
gollark: That's not very machine readable though.
gollark: Also, scraping would probably be problematic, maybe let people host some sort of machine-readable data file your build process can read from.
gollark: I should work on a potatos.madefor.cc website.
