My kid hooks her laptop up to a widescreen flatscreen monitor with external ipod speakers for dormroom slumber parties. Now that she's back for summer, we watched CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER that way together, and it wasn't a half bad set-up.

I even sat through THE HELP 3 times 'cuz it looked and sounded so good.

Now she wants me to plug in my external drives where I keep old tv shows and movies so she can catch up on DOCTOR WHO. I'm down with that.
