there is a station called "Boylston St. Theatre District", so clearly the British hold more sway than they think they do.

The theatre spelling is the most prevalent English variant I've seen in the States. Some people use the re/er to distinguish the art from the building, others just hold onto the Britishism, apparently because there were a lot of balky Brits in theatre when Webster tried to make his changes. I've seen it in Michigan and California too.

USC has a School of Theatre.

Which, ah, Gunn's actor probably knows about. Since he went here.

A place where plays are performed is a theatre

a place where movies are shown is a theater.

Pfft. That's a cinema.

I was rewatching Angel Season 1 last night and something bothered me about the episode "I've got you under my skin". Ryan, the little boy, should not have been able to block his parents bedroom door with that little piece of wood. I believe housing regulations are such that all doors to bedrooms need to open inward towards the room because if there is need, as in a fire, the door can be broken inwards, which is much easier than trying to pull it outwards.

Old house?

They had just moved into it. You would think that it would be sold through a bank and therefore have an inspector walk through. I don't know - I've never seen a house, old or new, that had bedroom doors that swung out.

Older houses are not subject to the same building codes as new houses, and a non-conforming room wouldn't break a deal.

(And it occurs to me that our non-conforming basement bedroom door swings out.)
