Email from PT:

I respectfully suggest that you not allow your own aversion to violence
      cloud the reviews you give as advice to others.

Good films require conflict. Conflict is often very distateful. Others
      may enjoy the film very much and not be so put off by the ending.
 
I'm not sure, but aren't you the gentleman who abhors choking. Violence
      just for the sake of shock may indeed be reprehensible. The violence
      at the end of Throat-A Cautionary Tale has a very specific purpose
      and is the perfect and logical ending to the conflict that Sasha
      is enduring.

      Many of your fans would enjoy this film. It would be a shame if they
      were steered away from it just because you personally did not like
      the bloody ending. The end is totally dramatically justified, and
      that is what a review should consider.

Thanks for your time and energy...regardless...........Paul Thomas

Revised review:

      I orginally only did a Boxcover review of this movie in order
      to get the gals names in the CAVR Porn Star Cross Reference
      and because I did not like the ending.

      Then I got an email from Paul Thomas that convinced me to
      do a full review. I did that and gave it a 9.00 rating.

      But, in my haste to re-write the review, I still gave
      the movie a 9.00, but I forgot to review the DVD extras
      and quality.

      This is the complete review of the DVD.
