I went to see this movie, "9," with a few friends. It's a computer animated, fun film geared towards younger folk, and to my surprise, it contained a lot of Illuminati/Discordian references in it. For instance, the main villain was a robotic version of Leviathan from the Illuminatus. It was roughly triangular in shape with one giant red eye and out of each corner were two robotic "tentacles." It was simply called "The Machine" and it existed to make everything into robots. The number 5 also played a role in the ending sequence (I won't spoil it just in case any one wants to watch it). Both "The Machine" and the protagonists were made by the same person (very Hagbard Celine-ish). It also contained some other cool symbolism, like the character #1, who initially used a fear based doctrine to "protect" the others, was dressed in robes similar to the catholic pope, and in it's head piece was a coin that, ironically, in the end was used to cover the eyes of a fallen comrade as they sent him down the "river Styx."
I'm not sure how much of this was intended by the creators, and I was wondering if anyone else had seen this movie. If so, I'm curios to hear if anyone picked up on stuff that I would have missed.
