Theres a punk-rock attitude, clearly, to Hated. Theres even a punk-rock attitude to The Hangover, I think. We start the movie with a Glenn Danzig song. – Todd Phillips
You know, if I started worrying about what the critics think, Id never make another comedy. You couldnt pick a less funny group than critics – you couldnt find a more bitter group of people! – Todd Phillips
I think people like comedies and I think concept driven comedies seem to be working when its a clear concept and you deliver funny stuff. – Todd Phillips
Comedy is so subjective. You could be in a room with 400 people laughing at a joke and you could just not think its funny. Youre just sitting there like, Am I in the twilight zone? Why is everyone laughing? Its such a personal thing. People have such a personal visceral response to comedy. – Todd Phillips
