After watching the film, I realized that I too miss the simplicity and genius of Polaroid film. Not just that it provides instant results, but that the photograph is tangible, much like the books that seem to lay dormant on my shelves.
Although I am a digital photographer and shoot tens of thousands of images a year, it is rare that I ever print an actual photograph anymore. I have a large screen in my office that projects beautiful images, but lost is the venerable (and sometimes) priceless piece of paper.

My partner is still making B&W prints. We are dinosaurs. The loss of Kodachrome is what breaks my heart.
I LOVE the fact that some photographers are still using the darkroom. In fact, B&W film has made quite a comeback, especially with younger artists. Now if only they could resurrect Kodachrome.
Heck, I have my Photoshop "Kodachrome" presets to emulate it's brilliance, but it's not the same.
