Close-up face-off

An instance in movies or TV shows when two people face off for an argument and the shot zooms in on one's face and then the other's. It continually switches back and forth. A shorter series of shots can be used for drama. While a strangely long series of shots is usually used for comedy. Sometimes the shots slowly become closer to the target's eyes as they switch between the two subjects.

Someone "boarding up the closet with rainbow corpses" is blatantly homosexual man or woman who tries to hide their gayness through extreme and sometimes violent homophobia rather than coming out of the closet and accepting their sexuality. Derived from the phrase "coming out of the closet" which refers to admitting to the world that you're gay, and to the fact that the rainbow is usually a symbol associated with gayness.
me:"I can't believe Chris! How can he call me a faggot and then threaten to rape me? Isn't that like, the most homosexual threat you can make?"
Seamus:"Dude, chill, he's just boarding up the closet with rainbow corpses. He's more of a fag then you'll ever be."
