Seth Rogen continues to stir the controversy pot.
After starring in "The Interview," the film which reportedly prompted the recent Sony hack and was temporarily banned from theaters, the actor took to Twitter on Sunday to blast Clint Eastwood's "American Sniper."
"American Sniper kind of reminds me of the movie that's showing in the third act of Inglorious Basterds," the actor Tweeted on Sunday.

The film shown at the end of Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds" is a fictional Nazi propaganda film called "Stolz der Nation" (which translates to "Nation's Pride").
"American Sniper" is a biopic on the non-fiction life of Chris Kyle (played by Bradley Cooper), regarded as the most lethal sniper in U.S. military history, whose death was mourned by more than 7,000 people at a funeral held at the Dallas Cowboys' stadium.

Dean Cain, who was paired with Kyle on NBC's "Stars Earn Stripes" competition in 2012, immediately took to Twitter to confront Seth and defend Kyle.
"Seth...I like your films, but right now, I wanna kick your ass. Chris is an American Hero. Period. Go to war. Then we'll talk," the former Superman wrote.
Not one to shy away from a controversial statement, Michael Moore also offered his opinion on Twitter.
"My uncle killed by sniper in WW2. We were taught snipers were cowards. Will shoot u in the back. Snipers aren't heroes. And invaders r worse," Moore Tweeted on Sunday, adding, "But if you're on the roof of your home defending it from invaders who've come 7K miles, you are not a sniper, u are brave, u are a neighbor."
Meanwhile, Kyle's father, Wayne Kyle, defended his late son during an appearance on "Hannity" last week, saying the sniper would much rather have known how many lives had been saved by his torturous work, instead of having knowledge of confirmed kills.
"How many American soldiers' lives were saved because of your son? It's probably incalculable, right?" Sean Hannity asked at the time.
Answered Kyle, "I think so. And that was one of the things that really bothered Chris that he wanted to -- he would really like to know how many lives he saved, rather than how many lives took. It's an unknowing number."
