‘Too late, jack@ss': Seth Rogen feverishly backtracks after ‘American Sniper’ tweet
Twitchy ^ | January 19, 2015

Posted on 01/19/2015 4:14:29 PM PST by maggief

Seth Rogen took quite a bit of heat for this tweet about “American Sniper”:

Seth RogenVerified account ‏@Sethrogen American Sniper kind of reminds me of the movie that's showing in the third act of Inglorious Basterds.

11:05 AM - 18 Jan 2015

Apparently, he finally started feeling the burn. This afternoon, he’s trying to walk it back:

Seth RogenVerified account ‏@Sethrogen I just said something "kinda reminded" me of something else. I actually liked American Sniper. It just reminded me of the Tarantino scene.

2:55 PM - 19 Jan 2015

Seth RogenVerified account ‏@Sethrogen I wasn't comparing the two. Big difference between comparing and reminding. Apples remind me of oranges. Can't compare them, though.

2:59 PM - 19 Jan 2015

These idiots are always walking back their stupid comments. Typical of these people to put their mouths in motion before the brain yells DON’T!!!

I honestly don't understand how the Seth Rogan (who I can't stand) tweet is offensive. Can someone explain it to me? Is it the fact that he is comparing American Sniper to Inglorious Bastards? If so, what is wrong with that? Hitler got killed in Inglorious Bastards.

I think some people are just programmed to be permanently offended, or at least offended when they are told to be so.

Rogan and Moore both are backtracking having misread the public and the attitude of most Americans with respect to Chris Kyle. Hanoi Jane even landed on the side of the right on this one. Rogan and Moore will take heat from this for a long time.

The first comment is usually the truth and how they really feel. Everything that follows is usually the CYA and propaganda.

As much as I hate Twitter it does serve a purpose.

Listened to his comments about his movie, tweaking the nose of a psycho with nukes, and Seth sounded as shallow as a birdbath.

The page came up, disappeared and then a notice popped up which said page does not exist. Oh, well. I had never heard of him anyway.

What is it about positive portrayals of Navy SEALs and the families that support them back home that induces liberal actors into making Nazi propaganda comparisons? On Sunday, comedic actor Seth Rogen took to twitter to say that “American Sniper kind of reminds me of the movie that’s showing in the third act of Inglorious Basterds.”

As Breitbart.com pointed out Rogen compared “the Nazi parody film ‘National Pride,’ shown in Quentin Tarantino’s movie Inglourious Basterds,” to the Clint Eastwood-directed movie.

WOW so that’s his statement..just proved what I already knew about Hollywood actors..if it wasn’t for their ability to read a script and have a semi decent looking face(Thanks to plastic surgery) they would be working at McDonalds flipping burgers(And probably overcooking them too)

Yep, after North Korea threatened the movie Rogen and the rest of the cast had 24/7 protection..my guess is those guards were carrying around forks, because we already know that hollywood leftists hate guns..oh wait, almost forgot, THEY can have protection, its just as peasants who can’t

I've only seen ad clips on American Sniper, so I can't compare.

I suspect a lot of people have not seen Inglourious Basterds, and of those who have, I suspect a lot of them have forgotten about the movie-in-the-movie scenes at the end.

So, Rogen has implied that American Sniper is a propaganda film like the fictional Joseph Goebbels' sniper movie in I.G.?

That's completely weird.

The one thing I keep seeing in the American Sniper ads is Bradley Cooper shooting a little kid and crying on the phone to his wife, “I wanna come home, baby.”

Until I read Rogen’s tweet, I assumed American Sniper was an anti-war, anti-Bush film!

If you don’t like Twitter, try Twitchy.com. It’s fun to laugh at liberals.

“American Sniper kind of reminds me of the movie that’s showing in the third act of Inglorious Basterds.”

For those of you who missed this stinker of a movie—ironically, the best performance of a bad lot by the SS captain Wolters (?)—a young Nazi sniper shoots a lot of Americans and is a 3rd Reich hero.

Go smoke a fat one and play your video games Rogan, you worthless Hollywood man-child POS.

Was he smoking dope when he tweeted that or does he live in a bubble of groupthinkers or both...

Lady Gaga actually has musical talent. She just chooses to do pop music and be a freak.
