Removed Per Directors Brother:

Please Read Below....

Got this e-mail and psuedo-threat from someone identifying themselves as "Michael Bramon," who did some music for a film called "200 Cigarettes." (The film was directed by Risa Bramon Garcia):

"In your review of 200 Cigarettes, I noticed that you mentioned a nepotism factor with Michael Bramon and Risa Bramon, in reference to "score" pieces...obviously you have no idea what your talking about, since Michael Bramon did no scoring whatsoever in this movie.

"If you check the end credits of the film, which you obviously don't do (which speaks a lot for your site) you'd see that Mr. Bramon wrote 2 SONGS in the movie ("Question" and "Forever Young"). And if you check Michael Bramon's credit's, say on http://www.imdb.com (and type in Michael Bramon) you'll see he has an illustrious career as a singer/song writer in the million selling and award-winning acts "Crush" and "Head", as well as previous TV composing for The Equalizer, Max Headroom etc.

"Change your facts...(or face the consequences of false reporting)

"In fact, when Mr. Bramon's new band rolls into Austin next month, perhaps the crew will just pay you a visit... to straighten things out."

I accused the writer of this e-mail of making a threat against me and suggested that my lawyers would contact him. He responded:"

"No threat intended...funny that that's how you read it, though. All that was said that they would stop by to straighten things out in person (to make sure it's taken care of). You know, before you wittingly trash someone's career online like you do- u should think of the legal consequences of youe actions, as well. And if u insist on bringing lawyers to this- we can do the same with regard to your knowingly providing the public with intentional misinformation and slanderous commentary. Perhaps you would like Paramount Pictures to contact you, as well?

Michael Bramon"

So I respond:

Mr. Bramon;

You and I both know that this was meant as a threat. But let's try and get past this.

What is it about the notations in the review that are upsetting you?

Is it that I said you contributed score music when actually you contributed songs?

Or is it that I called your involvement with the film Nepotism? The director is related to you, correct? Nepotism is not necessarily a insult. I simply mean, by this word, that you are involved with the project through a family connection with another person involved with the project. If this is untrue, then I will retract the statement. Otherwise, I see no insult or shame in this. You will see this kind of mention on the site regarding other films where family members are working on the same project. It is not my intention to defame anyone with these statement.

Sincerely lodger

He then replied.....

Well I see that you never took out the "score pieces" thing- which, as you well aware of, is simply false information. Please be advised that my attorney considers its continual inclusion on your 200 Cigarettes page to be purposefully and wilfully misleading, since you've had plenty of time to change this information after you had been specifically requested to change it.

If you do not take this information out or fix it with the correct information within 72 hours I will strongly consider proceeding with litigation.

As for the nepotism reference- I cannot force you to change this...and I will deal with that issue separately.

Obviously, though you have no class.

My sister Risa thinks I shouldn't even bother with -as she put it- "morons like you." But I will not back off. It's the principle of the thing. And you will lose- I promise you.

Michael Bramon
