The Pursuit of Excellence: Synchronized Swimming

The stage production of The Nutcracker is known for inspiring scores of young people to fall in love with ballet. Perhaps, the filmmakers were looking for a 'cracker-esque sense of joy and wonder when they set out to make The Pursuit of Excellence: Synchronized Swimming.

After glanicing at the cover and noticing that the swimmer has accidentally synchronized with a photo of herself on the spine of the DVD box, it is best to assume that the filmmakers failed.

WTF DVDs - Mission Statement

This blog is dedicated to showcasing DVDs that make you scratch your head and go "WTF"?

There are a lot of crappy DVDs out there, and not enough people are aware of it. This mission of this blog is to make people aware of how much crap is actually out there.

On one hand, this is incredibly depressing. On the other hand, it is inspiring - because no matter how dumb your movie idea is, it cannot be worse than Death Bed: The Bed That Eats. No matter how kooky your documentary idea is, rest assured it is no worse than the PBS DVD called The Pursuit of Excellence: Synchronized Swimming.

Those DVDs are out there, and you need to know about them.

No, I have not watched these DVDs and, no, I do not plan on ever watching them. I will judge them based on what I can glean from the cover and the Amazon description. So if you want some good cheesy fun reading highly literate reviews of dumb movies, go to The Onion AV Club because they do it better than I ever could.

I will, however, make sure each blog entry includes an Amazon link so those who just have to have a copy of Haunted Boat will not be denied.

Most of the DVDs were found in The Digital Bits' excellent Upcoming DVD Cover Art section. It is a great way to waste time when the work day is slow.
