Can you hook up an external hard drive to your Blu-ray player and watch movies?

No. Although the maximum data transfer speed of blu-ray discs is much higher than that of DVD's, it's speed is much slower than a standard HDD (72MBit/sec compared to better than 1GBit/sec) and the writing speeds are slower, and seek times even slower. Using a rewritable blu-ray disc as a hard drive would be a very bad idea, indeed.

How do you watch a movie on your computer?
Just insert a disc into the built-in disc drive on your laptop, or an external disc drive if you don't have one integrated one. NOTE: sometimes discs are not compatible with your drive, depending on what type of drive you've got on your laptop, for example: I've got a 'DVD RW Drive (E:)', so if I want to play movie from a BluRay disc, I can't, unless I get another external BluRay disc drive. And another thing, you'll need a software (program) to play movies from it, Power DVD's a not-bad one, my school uses it. Good luck and hope I helped. :)

Will a HDMI up convert DVD player play blu-ray disks as well?
DVD players cannot play Bluray discs. The lasers and the data storage are different so no data can be read from a Bluray disc in a DVD drive. That is the case whether or not there is any up-scaling available in the player. Bluray players on the other hand are quite happy to play DVDs as well as Bluray discs.
