Frontier House movie scheduling

For those of you interested in watching Frontier House and doing the movie discussion, have you gotten a copy of it yet? I don't know how many of you are waiting for a library copy or if you've already gotten it from Netflix or Blockbuster or your favorite independent video rental place. In other words, have you started watching it?

To recap, the three-part series takes three families and exposes them to what it was like to live on a homestead in 1883 Montana. They spare no one from the vagaries of 19th century living for six months. A homesteading dream? Or lots of quibbling?

Dang. Two polls in a row. This just ain't right. So....



Whether or not you are interested in Frontier House, I have another post for you below...

Frontier House - movie screening and discussion

Since we are doing a book club online, why not do a movie screening and discussion online while we are at it?

Someone recently left a comment about the PBS series, Frontier House, which I saw part of when it was on TV a few years back. The series takes three families and exposes them to what it was like to live on a homestead in 1883 Montana. They spare no one from the vagaries of 19th century living for six months.

For those of you fantasizing about life on a homestead this will give you a glimpse of what it really takes to survive on your own. Of course, this is a reality show, albeit for PBS, but it's still edited for entertainment in addition to the educational element. In other words, take it with a grain of salt.

You can get the two disc series from Netflix, Blockbuster or you may try your public library (I know mine carries it).

Anyone interested in doing a group movie screening - it's filmed in three parts so there would be three discussion posts.
