I recently watched the movie 9. For truth, I watched it last Friday, and I noticed that the B.R.A.I.N./Machine/Fabricator brain piece with the robot eye on it resembles a Portal Core. It looked like a sphere, and had an eye around the size of a Portal Core eye. Do you think the brain piece thing was based off of the Portal Cores? You decide.............
PS: I also noticed that the beggining of 9 was alot like the beggining of Coraline.
PSS: WHO WANTS THEIR OWN B.R.A.I.N.? XD
