I swear I’m not only posting movie memorabilia from now on. I was just wondering whether it was possible to purchase a fortune telling machine when, lo and behold, Zoltar popped up.
For those of you babies who read this blog*, Big was a hit movie starring famous American actor Tom Hanks… You know, the guy from Polar Express? Anyway, he’s a little kid that wishes he would become big, and then he has sex with a grown up lady, and in retrospect, it’s totally the creepiest movie ever made.
However, you can take home your own Zoltar machine. Zoltar will talk, telling you to approach him. After putting in a (removable) quarter, you’ll get one of 16 spoken messages, or 23 different printed fortune cards, with 2000 cards included with the machine.
This is, by the way, a full sized machine made of oak, metal, and glass, about the size of a Midtown studio apartment. So unless you have a lot of space, don’t even think about getting this. Although… There’s something to be said for being able to use the line, “Hey baby, want to come back to my Zoltar machine?”
I bet that’ll be a slam dunk.
