[nitpick: you need an additional set of brackets inside the call to any]

I love it! A totally unnecessary creation of a tuple and a function call
instead of a straight-forward 'or' expression. Can we make this simple task
even more obfuscated?

not all( (i%3 != 0, i%5 !=0) )

Still not convoluted enough. 

all( (sum(int(c) for c in str(i))%3 in (1, 2), 
    str(i).endswith(chr(53)) - 1, 
    str(i).endswith(chr(48)) - 1) ) - 1

Hmmm... how can I get rid of that pesky %3?

all( (divmod( sum(int(c) for c in str(i)), 
    41^42)[1] in (1, 2), 
    str(i).endswith(chr(53)) - 1, 
    str(i).endswith(chr(48)) - 1) ) - 1

Okay, that makes my brain hurt. I think it will do.
