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
Have you tried dropping by the store? I'm sure they'd be happy to help
I'll bet 10 dollars this is in Northern California
Lol, it's LA, I think
What org do you want me to send $10 to?
Is Black Hammer still around?
hahahahah that's a rad find, now why didn't I think of that sooner....
Surprised no one mentioned it, but he did come out almost immediately with Comments on Society of the Spectacle which is more structured and less a collection of theses.
awesome, thank you so much! this will really nicely complement the Situationist writings + the book&film. it sounds like it's a bit more accessible in that case, based on your description :)
It's good to read in parallel because he references SotS chapters
I skipped recc'ing it just because it gets kinda bleak
I mean, if you're reading situationalist literature in the 21st century you're gonna have to be prepared for that.
I just meant like the "the spectacle is too entrenched, revolution is impossible" thing he gets on.
For the study of Marxism, and all the tendencies that fall beneath it.
Read Lenin.
