need help with Society of the Spectacle
(hexbear.net)
what is the best way to approach it? it seems really interesting but I got confused pretty quick reading it. tried to get quick grasp on it with videos but most were 
shit. I think there was a same-titled movie as well?? if so, is it any good?
I hope that this is the right community to ask this question 
Sure!
Okay, so don't start with SotS. The Situationist International did a lot of other writing that covers similar ideas and being familiar with those will help you parse SotS. It'll also be a fun read.

Then, make sure you're reading the Knabb translation and not the Perlman translation. It's better annotated, so you can know when you've come up against a cheeky hegel reference or something. He also suggests an alternate chapter order that starts with easier chapters.
Also, don't be afraid the skip stuff or just let things wash over you. If there's a part you don't get, just treat it as a Koan an let it wash over you.
Finally, you can't really understand it until you've collaged ads into councilist propaganda or taken mushrooms and wandered through the city without a destination.
the texts in the link feel like a treasure trove, thank you! already found some cool stuff there that's made me ponder. thanks for the advice as well!
wandering through the city on mushies sounds kind of scary hahah, did that with a friend once though when I responded better to psychs
