Film isn't dead. It won't be for a long time. I still like film; I learned on my dad's Nikon FM and black and white film in a darkroom. It's a great teaching and artistic medium. You take better pictures when most of the control you have over the pictures happens before you release the shutter and you can't look at the screen to see what you took and delete it if it's shit.
However, is inconvenient and expensive. A few weeks ago, I took a trip to Washington, D.C. Single prints and photo CD at Wolf Camera was like $47. Had I shot digital, I could post-process my photos myself, only get prints of the ones I like, post them online the day I took them, save money, and get only good prints.
If you have the money, play around with film for a while, and then go digital when film doesn't fit your needs anymore.
