Seeing Nickelback live vs Watching Tora Tora Tora

My wife is still puzzled as to why I preferred to stay home, have a few buddies over for a few beers & watch Tora Tora Tora on DVD, with the stereo full blast.
This is on the Canada day weekend, it'll be warm, so the fans will be going full tilt to keep the kids' bedroom cooled off, meaning we can crank the sound.
Am I wrong to take advantage of this opportunity to watch a classic film ?

That's "Pearl Harbor" to you Americans.

Watching Tora Tora Tora! is better than watching Nickelback, even though Tora Tora Tora! is factually full of errors.

Still, it's better than "Pearl Harbor" the film... ewww!

pay someone to throw a bottle of piss on stage, it's gotten them to leave in the past

"Tora Tora Tora" was very good but I'd recommend the follow-up movie "Midway".  I thought that was even better.

At least I would do that...   Tora Tora Tora is fantastic, by the way... a TRUE GREAT SERIOUS movie about Pearl harbour......   I'd stay and crank the stereo with the sound of airplanes and angry-sounding japanese people rather than the noise of pointelss rock and angry-sounding unoriginal-americans

I know. Tora Tora Tora is the only DVD in my collection that is not a music or tv series disc. I've seen it so many times on TV. In case you've seen the other Pearl Harbour movie (Pearl Harbour) you agree that this one is balanced in its presentation of the battle.
P.S. Nickelback are pointless rock & angry sounding (not) completely unoriginal sounding CANADIANS ! I've come to the point where I can appreciate that they're one of the only groups around these days that still play something like straightforward rock. Mind you , that says more about the current music scene than their talent. I can also now tolerate my wife or daughter playing them again in our car. I had passed a total ban on their music anywhere within my hearing range. I have since mellowed out. That & it was hard to avoid them everywhere.
