Psycho
 
The first
is a De Niro line from Taxi Driver (1976) brazenly commandeered from the 1953 Western Shane - as originally spoken by Alan Ladd as Shane - though the context is markedly different.

The second
is Pacino's quite preposterous catchphrase from Scent of a Woman. He plays a retired US Army Rangers officer - "hoo-hah" is an Army battle cry said to "refer to or mean anything and everything other than no". It should be noted that in Scent of a Woman co-star Chris O'Donnell has hair almost identical to that of Pacino's Glengarry Glen Ross character Richard Roma.

As for DiCaprio - in total agreement. He's the best actor of his generation. Out of his 23 released feature films I've now watched nineteen and only one of those performances (Critters 3) was anything less than 100% effort. I've heard it said that he's too serious and he should do more comedies and lighter stuff - that's a valid point but I'd prefer him to carry on what he's doing currently - stretching himself in dramatic roles - than show up in a lame and forgettable comedy opposite Cameron Diaz or Jennifer Aniston. (Having said that a high-quality comedy starring, and fully utilizing, a fully mature DiCaprio would be something to behold.)

Inception is just five days away and I'm taking a half day off work so that I can watch it absolutely as soon as possible. On IMAX!

HOO-HAH!
