...you spend a sunny, hot afternoon at an outdoors flea market with your wife and happen to come across an unmarked 200ft. reel of b/w silent standard-8 film sealed in a can, practically heading straight for vinegar syndrome, and feel obligated to save the film by buying it for $4, despite having no idea what it is.

[Cool]

How/what did that old standard 8 film turn out to be?

A cartoon starring a pig. I haven't watched the whole thing, the film was torn in the middle of the reel and the projector I was using gave me some trouble (a cheap Chinon dual-8 model 727). [Eek!]
