'Too late, jackass': Seth Rogen feverishly backtracks after 'American Sniper' tweet

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

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:

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 it’s not necessarily working:

@Sethrogen God just grow up and admit what you meant. Backtracking is 10 times worse

A word of advice, maybe?
