I'm sick of the flaming over ratings between posters here. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and until the movie comes out and we see it, no one can really say if PG-13 is a bad move or not.
I'm a fan of the series, and really enjoyed the first two. Yes, they were "soft - R" for their time, but that doesn't mean that I want a modern-made sequel to be set to those standards. If our collective sensitivity to on-screen profanity, violence and sex has been lowered, then I want more of it to give the modern version the same "soft-R" rating. I feel it's warranted. In the very beginning of T1 Arnie puts his hand through a guy's chest and rips his heart out. Even by today's standards I don't think that would be PG-13.

I like how Zach Snyder's Watchmen was discussed for having done just that. He took material that was considered very edgy and morally challenging for the time (1980s), and he upped the violence, sex, and gore to try and keep it edgy and limit-pushing for modern audiences.

Wow! I liked fogler in the few things I've seen him in, but never realized he was capable of nailing Kinison like that. I'll definitely keep my eyes on this one.

It not out yet, in US at least. It keeps getting pushed back.

I really wanted to like it, I liked the first one a lot, but I just felt like this trailer wasn't nearly as funny as it should have been. I'll likely still watch it based on these two trailers alone, but my expectations have been lowered.

With you there Jeff. I prefered the third, not so much the first or second.

Sorry. You are correct. It'd been ages since I played them.

After sifting through comments here a few things are more apparent to me though:

1. Tim Smit, former co-creator of the Mythbuster's Phonebook mail-in video, is clearly involved. Or someone has inserted both images of the red 'what'sinthebox' box into the Mythbuster's video on Youtube, as well as him name into the whatsinthebox.nl production credits.
2. The fast white letters: read box fast
3. What the box says: Lyrics to Tenacious D - The Final Showdown (Odd. A playful joke by the creators?)
4. I really need to watch more TED.
5. I liked Abrams' lecture. I'm curious if Tim Smit had anything to do with the clip Abrams shows of a plane crash-landing on an SUV and talks about these guys making these low-budget, yet amazing, effects?
6. What the meaning of the "anti" box is, I still have no clue. For now I'll go with that hypercube theory.
7. What any of these things mean when put together? Still no clue.

I just creamed my pants. I loved Cloverfield and loved HL1,2,2.1,2.2 and soon 2.3. Plus, they are making Portal 2. Which if you played the first one, *SPOILER* (you wind up making it out of the complex underground Black Mesa facility and up to the rather mundane surface.) *END SPOILER*

I'm really hoping that this is either a promo for HL 2.3 / Portal 2, or (crosses fingers) JJ Abrams and Valve decided to secretly make "Black Mesa" the movie.

But they lied about the cake being a lie. There is Cake!

I say go with Todd Solondz.

Really though, 1 was great, 2 I thought single-handedly had killed the franchise, and then 3 comes and pulled it back from the brink. I'm ready for a 4th. Just get it back to a thinking-man's action movie. That's what I remember all the original stories as being, and what I appreciated about the 1st one.

I may go so far as to say best tagline ever.

Never thought I would, but loved the 1st one. When I heard they were making a second I was immediately upset. Then I saw the first trailer for it and thought, wow, it might actually be BETTER than the first one. Looking forward to it.
