should I be buying particular film?

Because that last roll didn’t come out, and I had another roll a while ago that sucked too.

All the pictures are really dark, I’ll post one after this to show you.  Only like 5 came out.

it’s not the film that’s the problem, those cameras are really hit or miss. if you’re using it outside use the flash unless it’s a really sunny day. if you’re shooting inside always use the flash. although, now that i think about it, i probably wouldn’t use anything less than 400 speed film. try the multiple exposure setting too. also, if you’re using it at night you’ll probably want to use the “bulb” setting even with the flash.

thank you baby baby!

I will experiment soon.  Whenever I go buy film, or if I can find something around the house.

The advice you got is decent advice.  The manual (pdf) is here should you ever be curious.  But the above advice is probably all you need.
