Dear Riley: You're Wrong
I've been thinking about this for a while. I have been searching my soul. I have decided that you are quite mistaken, and I want you to immediately acknowledge this fact: Jude Law is NOT the kiss of death. Consider: although Law is not the brilliant actor so many of the young girlies think he is, Closer, a film of heartache and redemption of sorts, was not ruined. In fact, I just added it to my list of favorites. I Heart Huckabees was still funny regardless of his over-the-top aloofness and somewhat crooked grin. And Cold Mountain was just good, dammit! Jude Law is not Johnny Depp (my boyfriend when Sting with his beautiful baldness is on tour) nor Gary Oldman; but, obviously, not everyone can be the father of my children. So. He cheats on his lovers with the nanny. He's a borderline douche. But he is, maybe, just the Swiss cheese of the acting world... a few holes in his style, but satisfying nonetheless.
Oh, and update your blog already, I'm getting really tired of carrying the entire blogging world on my shoulders.

So since Closer is one of your favorites, can you explain its proper pronunciation? Is it like "come closer" or like a closing pitcher in baseball, i.e. "the closer"?
It is the former, as in, any closer to the edge and I'm going over. Notice the lack of an article, and I'm sure it wouldn't take an English major to figure it out.
I'll take your word for it, although I do hope that information comes from somewhere other than you making gramatical assumptions based on Hollywood's use - or lack thereof - of an article in a movie title. English AND critical thinking, of course (nod to Gwenchie).
