Seth Rogen Clarifies His 'American Sniper' Tweets, Says He Wasn't Comparing the Film to Nazi Propaganda
Seth Rogen was in some hot water yesterday when he sent out a tweet seemingly comparing American Sniper to a Nazi propaganda film.
“American Sniper kind of reminds me of the movie that’s showing in the third act of Inglorious Basterds” the 32-year-old comedian wrote on his Twitter account. If you remember, the “third act” of Inglorious Basterds shows Nazi leaders watching Stolz der Nation (Nation’s Pride), which is about a German sniper.
Later, Seth took to Twitter to blast his critics and clarify what he was saying.
I just said something "kinda reminded" me of something else. I actually liked American Sniper. It just reminded me of the Tarantino scene.

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

But if you were having a slow news day, you're welcome for me giving you the opportunity to blow something completely out of proportion.
