That pretty much sums up what I do, except for the cursing. I've never had a problem with the Majik Noodles. A couple of details, that I do, without fail: I advance the shutter and release it, to ensure the take-up is engaged. I insert the film on the shutter side of the take-up spool about 4 sprockets worth of the leader, and I turn the take-up spool with my thumb until the film is engaged over both sides of the advance sprocket. Then I put the film cassette into the camera. Try that, and see if the Noodles don't work better for you.
