It may be one of the dumbest things we’ve heard, too, but it’s happening. Check out the latest from actor Seth Rogen:
American Sniper kind of reminds me of the movie that's showing in the third act of Inglorious Basterds.
— Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) January 18, 2015
We assume Rogen is referring to “Nation’s Pride,” the faux Nazi-propaganda film that airs during Quentin Tarantino’s “Inglorious Basterds.”
Rogen isn’t alone. Alternet writer Max Blumenthal, who a few weeks ago called Chris Kyle a mass murderer, has fictional Nazis on the brain, too:

American sniper is basically just a propaganda film isnt it? Kinda like the film in Inglorious Basterds but with a couple of Hollywood spins

American Sniper just sounds like Frederick's propaganda film from Inglorious Basterds.

.@MMFlint This movie just reminds me so much of "Stolz der Nation," the (fictional) Nazi hero-sniper movie from Inglourious Basterds.

AMERICAN SNIPER isn't far removed from being essentially NATION'S PRIDE (the propaganda film from BASTERDS) @devincf @kristapley

Remember the deplorable Nazi proganda movie about a sniper in Inglorious Basterds? Holywood now brings you American Sniper. No irony at all.
