    Yeah, it's totally a crap shoot. If you are looking for "cool" effects, often people cross process their expired film to add to that vintage look. In that case, the older the better, and sometimes film that was left to the elements works better for that style (barf).

    When properly stored in a freezer you'll find that the film will behave as new, or close to it. In that case it may be a big disappointment if you want hipstamatic-style photos. I love it because it's about $1 a roll off of Craigslist, rather than $5+ a roll from a dealer. Plus there are a lot of discontinued films with gorgeous color that you can't find any more.
