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.

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.

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.

Sad that I have to explain it to you, but the last part of Inglourious Basterds features Goebbels showing Hitler a propaganda film he made about a sniper.

So Rogen is calling American Sniper a Nazi recruitment film.

I have no idea of who this Seth Rogen is. And it sounds like I should keep it this way.

“Rosen has the IQ of a grapefruit.”

Yeah! Check out his “cinematic successes” like “Zack and Miri Make a Porno.” What a bungholio!

I worked with this ass*ole on This is the End’. He will still get gigs as long as he’s buds with Franco, who holds sway with the studios.

I will never spend one cent on Rogan’s work, ever.

Typically I cringe when I see this, but I am joining you. We have to draw a line somewhere and Seth went over the line in my mind. I even ordered The Interview from Amazon for 6 bucks just to support him and the ordeal he had. Well forget it. I won’t ever do that again.....his movie was awful by the way. Anyway I typically am more “forgiving” to hollywood types but not in this case. Anyone who sneers an American Hero who can’t even defend himself can lose my money at least.

‘Inglorious Basterds’ was awesome.

His agent must have explained to him the concept of “Dixie Chicking” your career down the toilet...

[Mad Dawgg]

"These guys are so casual about throwing out remarks for no reason, that will cost them millions of dollars during their career."

In a year our two Rogen will be the opening act for the Dixie Chicks when they play at Cowboy Bob's Country Bunker.
