My DVD player died 20 minutes into Troll 2 and we finished the movie on my laptop with the disc skipping every 30 seconds
Halfway through the famous dinner scene the screen froze on a close-up of that weird green frosting, so I ran to the kitchen, grabbed my old laptop from the junk drawer, and we all huddled around a 13 inch screen while the audio kept cutting out at the best parts, which somehow made the whole thing funnier, and now I want to know if anyone else has a backup plan for when the hardware gives up mid-movie.
Wait, your backup plan was a laptop from the junk drawer? That thing must have been thrilled to finally be needed after years of collecting dust next to old chargers and dead batteries. Honestly the skipping every 30 seconds might have improved Troll 2, since the movie is already a train wreck and the frozen green frosting close up sounds like a gift. Nothing says movie night like a 13 inch screen and five people squinting while the audio drops out at the worst times. Next time just accept it as fate and let the disc die in peace, the movie clearly wanted to go out that way.
