SUMMARY:\"Collapse\" Back by Popular Demand
DESCRIPTION:The Pickford Cinema experienced great attendance and stron
 g positive reaction to this film and will be bringing it back.\n\nNew 
 showtimes are:\nSaturday 1/30 at 2:15pm\nWednesday 2/3 at 9pm\nThursda
 y 2/4 at pm\n\nHere is how Michael Falter, the Pickford's Program Dire
 ctor describes the film, \"Collapse\":\n\nHi Folks,\nNo, 'The Collapse
 ' isn't a new dance craze sweeping the nation, but it IS the title of 
 one of the most compelling documentaries of the year. This film shook 
 us to the core when we screened it at Toronto this year--the subject o
 f Chris Smith's doc is Michael Ruppert, who likes to say that he doesn
 't deal in conspiracy theory, he deals in conspiracy FACT. Whether you
  believe everything he says is less important than considering the ram
 ifications of what he says if he is right. About what? See the excerpt
  from Roger Ebert's Four Star review below.\n\nWe'll have guests from 
 Transition Whatcom say a few words before the film each night, and we 
 will be selling copies of Michael Ruppert's various books, courtesy of
  Village Books. Pickford Film Center will keep 20% from each book sale
 , so consider picking up a title or two.\n\nhttp://www.villagebooks.co
 m/search/apachesolr_search/michael+ruppert\n\nA long excerpt from Roge
 r Ebert's review:\n\nIf this man is correct, then you may be reading t
 he most important story in today's paper.\nI have no way of assuring y
 ou that the bleak version of the future outlined by Michael Ruppert in
  Chris Smith's \"Collapse\" is accurate. I can only tell you I have a 
 pretty good built-in B.S. detector, and its needle never bounced off z
 ero while I watched this film. There is controversy over Ruppert, and 
 he has many critics. But one simple fact at the center of his argument
  is obviously true, and it terrifies me.\n\nThat fact: We have passed 
 the peak of global oil resources. There are only so many known oil res
 erves. We have used up more than half of them. Remaining reserves are 
 growing smaller, and the demand is growing larger. It took about a cen
 tury to use up the first half. That usage was much accelerated in the 
 most recent 50 years. Now the oil demands of giant economies like Indi
 a and China are exploding. They represent more than half the global po
 pulation, and until recent decades had small energy consumption.\n\nIf
  the supply is finite, and usage is potentially doubling, you do the m
 ath. We will face a global oil crisis, not in the distant future, but 
 within the lives of many now alive. They may well see a world without 
 significant oil.\n\nOh, I grow so impatient with those who prattle abo
 ut our untapped resources in Alaska, yada yada yada. There seems to be
  only enough oil in Alaska to power the United States for a matter of 
 months. The world's great oil reserves have been discovered.\n\nSaudi 
 Arabia sits atop the largest oil reservoir ever found. For years, the 
 Saudis have refused to disclose any figures at all about their reserve
 s. If those reserves are vast and easy to tap by drilling straight dow
 n through the desert, then ask yourself this question: Why are the Sau
 dis spending billions of dollars to develop offshore drilling platform
 s?\n\nhttp://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/200912
