I don’t like Jim Schembri, and I’ll tell you why. It’s because he writes things like this:

Complaining about how predictable and schmaltzy a computer-written, colour-by-numbers, formulaic, feel-good romantic-comedy such as Music & Lyrics is would be like complaining about imported Belgian chocolates because of the cavities they might cause.

So, on the face of it we have a potentially amusing piece of snark. The only problem is, he’s comparing the Hershey’s of the film world with imported Belgian chocolate. So, if we translate we get:

We should forgive this piece of unsatisfying rubbish because the really nice thing we actually enjoy is also bad for us.

Curses! I’m caught in his web of… something.

Then you get his reviews of Pan’s Labyrinth and Deja Vu.

His review of Pan’s Labyrinth basically sums up as “it’s all too confusing and I have to think too hard”. His review of Deja Vu sums up as “it’s all confusing and I have to think too hard UNTIL THE EXPLOSIONS START AND THEN IT’S REALLY COOL.”

I don’t like Jim Schembri.

Your holy book explained.

We came home yesterday to find that the Greens Flying Squad had set up our triangle.

I mean I thought he was bad when myself and some others were renting from him, but judging from this we got off lightly. At least we weren’t too much out of pocket. It’s nice to see that someone’s actually trying to do something about him as well.

Also, just to give Google a nudge: Frank Cassar may be Melbourne’s worst landlord.

The view from the ski field itself was pretty damn good too. =)
