LMAO yeah right. She's a *beep* loon.
share"Cool"? She's the most hateful tweeter I've ever seen. Her "tolerant" views are as closed-minded as it gets.
shareI think Roseanne Barr can give her a run for the money now on the "hateful tweets."
But seriously, never mind the politics--is this all the rich and famous have to do? We did this back in the late 80's in college, having flamewars with random strangers on the Internet. (Yes, the Internet existed in the late 1980's, even if you hadn't heard of it then.) Who knew we were partying like the glitterati?

As a reward for your bravery, you will both find permanent homes on adult contemporary radio.
I feel sorry for her. She seems like such a bitter, miserable person.
shareShe's an intolerant moron.

You still think so?
"It's not that I'm stupid. I just don't think sometimes." - Colin Farrell
Yeah, I do actually, at least the comments I read; she seemed to be playfully stumbling through how to use Twitter properly at the time. I don't worry about the politics, as performers/celebrities have always had political opinions, but nowadays we just happen to know about those opinions more often. I wonder what people would say about a young Ronald Reagan if social media was around back then?
shareWell, I guess things got ugly, but I only read her in the beginning, when she stated something to the effect, "Hi, I'm just some old bitch using the computer". However, I still don't know why people become provoked by celebrity or non-celebrity tweets. I mean, many thoughts go through one's head a day, and when given a platform to just say whatever...well, then things are said. I'm a pretty sensitive people (bullying, abuse, other good time things), but this culture for some time is just too PC (on PC's?).
I don't know, there are real life adversities out there, someone awkwardly or uncomfortably making their points on social media isn't one of those for (death, condemnation, falling trees, & homelessness are big ones for me).
In the love scene with Pacino in Sea of Love, there is a vagina shot.
There is? I don't recall that. I did think Ellen Barkin had some serious sex appeal going on in the mid 1980's-1990's, with those pursed lips and "I'll eat you alive" look in her eyes.
shareOh yeah. Liked "Switched" and "The Big Easy".
shareThere's also"Siesta" (released the same year as "The Big Easy", but that's the one where Barkin arrived as a mainstream sex symbol, and "Siesta" is more of an afterthought) and the 1988 HBO movie (my family had HBO in the 1980's) "Clinton and Nadine".
Ha ha, I was pretty entertained by "Switch", and I thought Barkin was charming in "Diner", along with "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension", although I wouldn't call those roles sexy.
It's 7 years later and I guess the liberal blue checks on Twitter truly are a protected species. If Barkin's comments came from a "far-right" Twitter account they would instantly get the banhammer.

She tweeted something horrible but it was deleted.
I noticed the infamous Marc Emory replied to it: https://twitter.com/MarcScottEmery/status/1080244183112261633
Her tweets were removed, not by Twitter themselves surely? That would imply that verified users aren't immune to the terms of service.
