slothian Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Yes, you can help influence not only the film Pandy & I use as the joint review*, but the homework we assign each other to plot the range of their career. As announced in Episode 8, our subject will be Whoopi Goldberg. Pandy & I will take an executive decision on what makes the joint review on Sunday 3rd August, so get your ideas in before then! *The Brothers Wilson reserve the right to use all suggestions to inform each other's picks, as there is a massive liklihood they will fix the joint review to be Sister Act II: Back in the Habit. This is not a definite, but merely very likely. And we did have the good manners to inform you of this liklihood, as we have previously not fixed anything ever. We promise.

Dan Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Ghost is probably something you should look at: it's a showcase for her sense of humor while not being an out-and-out comedy, and she's a supporting player, not a lead, which is really where she does her best work.

Donomark Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 She's gonna be in the upcoming TMNT film! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 The Color Purple is one of the few dramatic roles Whoopi has done. It's also her first major role and really should have gotten her her first Oscar. Sister Act 2 would also have been a recommendation (I like the first one but the second is just much more fun). If you're not adverse to doing a TV-movie, I'd suggest A Knight in Camelot. Otherwise, Ghosts of Mississippi, Kingdom Come, or Rat Race.

Stavros Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 I've only ever seen one Whoopi Goldberg film, Star Trek Generations. Please don't watch that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pan-dub Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 I bloody love Ghost. Good choice Dan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Mockery Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 Jumpin' Jack Flash. I will suggest that over and over again until you pick it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Mockery Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 Because it's quite good and is an example of the very early stages of her film career. Plus bonus Jonathan Pryce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 I bloody love Ghost. Good choice Dan! It's why when she makes a guest appearance on a sitcom they can promote her as "Academy Award Winner Whoopi Goldberg". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
You Know Who Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 I've only ever seen one Whoopi Goldberg film, Star Trek Generations. No you haven't. She was one of the three main hyenas in The Lion King. Other than that, no sure any of her films either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I go by Oscar rules where animated performances don't count eg Andy Serkis being overlooked despite being amazing in everything.

Mr Mockery Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 Andy Serkis is the Lon Cheney of motion capture and deserves more recognition than he gets. In fact Andy Serkis month would be an interesting one. P.S. Do Jumpin' Jack Flash for episode 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 In all fairness, it IS a gas, gas, gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Mockery Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Dan is quite right but you may disagree. Of course the only way to be sure is if you cover Jumpin' Jack Flash on episode 10 of Hey, an Actor! I look forward to hearing you thoughts on this slice of cinematic wacky.
