I was watching the move The Ant Bully this weekend and was surprised to see the unmistakable Square & Compasses engraved on the back of the grandmother’s rocking chair. Now, I doubt that it has some dark, hidden secret meaning to the movie’s plot. And, if it is somehow a secret call to action for masons to start the Revolution– well, I guess I missed that meeting. Best guess is that one of the animators or producers or somebody is a Mason. That, or someone thought having the S&C on granny’s chair enhanced her character’s weirdness.
But the scene has got me thinking… What other movies or magazines or books or TV shows or whatever have little hidden Masonic symbols? Probably not very many, but it would be a cool thing to find them on occasion and I’m going to start looking for ‘em. Lemme know if you find any.
Plus, it’ll give the conspiracy guys more stuff to talk about.

I just watched Bad Boys 2 a couple nights ago and the FBI van, when they are parked on the beach doing surveillance, has S&C painted on the rear upper corners of it. Visible on the other scene closer to the end of the movie.

I was watching Terminator last night on Fox. When the FBI agent goes to see the lady with the red hair at her office, there are pyramids everywhere. For example, the metal beams on the windows, the two flowers behind her desk have very long stems and they are positioned in a cross which makes two pyramids and their is a glass obelisk on the desk behind her near the flowers.
This was the first time I actually looked for the symbols and I was taken aback. Very interesting.

I myself am a exmember of the Craft,if people looked around in eveyday life, there are symbols all around them.

The Grand Lodge of British Columbia and Yukon has a great website that tracks mention or appearance of Freemasonry in popular culture. That includes movies, tv shows, radio, fiction and comic books. Their website is http://freemasonry.bcy.ca/fiction/index.html
