I really don't understand why you hire a writer who hates TIFF (and apparently himself) to cover the festival every year. The contempt Semley has for his subject and his readers is nauseating. These articles a waste of money and precious newspaper space. I wish John Semley would masturbate privately rather than publicly in these sorts of articles. It's a real shame that Canada's largest and most prestigious paper continues to publish the work of such a loathsome jerk. He must have friends up high at The Globe. He certainly doesn't have any fans amongst your readers and we're getting sick of this nonsense. No one cares about Semley's private whining as much as the author and he shouldn't be encouraged. It's a shame his journalistic navel-gazing poisons a paper with so many genuinely talented and insightful writers. I wish The Globe would hire people who actually like movies to review films and TIFF rather than continuing to employ this narcissist. I'm not alone in that opinion either.
