Do you guys think any of this summer's potential "blockbusters" can jump in on the top 10 action at all? Troy? Spider-Man 2?

There is a chance. I'm not sure I would bank on it, though. Of the two, Spidey 2 has the better shot I think because the first one didn't really disappoint. It could so easily have been all hype and no substance.

That's why I say Spidey 2 has the best shot. Troy will do well. Maybe top 20. But I don't think top 10.

He's such an underrated actor. And it's hard to believe how long he's been around. Floored me when I found out he was Sapito in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

He's one of Indy's guides in the beginning. He's the one that tells Indy to throw him the idol and then he'll throw him the whip. Then he winds up being staked on the wall. Yep, that's Molina.

Except, he said Sapito (which was his name), not Stupido.
