How to find interesting spanish stuff ?

Hello everybody, I'm a french student on my last year of high school. At the end of the year I'll pass a general exam, in which there's a spanish test. I have chosen spanish as my 2nd foreign language (my first is english, as you can see).
I'm pretty good and "fluent" in english, better than the majority of other pupils, but there's still a major issue for me to succeed my last-year exam : spanish.
It'd be more correct if I've said : "I'm supposed to have chosen spanish", because, like many other french pupils, there was only spanish and italian to chose, and my parents didn't want me to chose italian (it was like 4/5 years ago).
I'm INSANELY bad in spanish, although french is my mother tongue and therefore I can recognize many words with latin's origins, the text usually makes me having a headache.
There's many reasons for my bad level in spanish : the first one is the chaotic french education system, especially a problem with language-teaching teachers. They're often girls moreover, and it seems that all my spanish (and english, that I really worked alone) teachers have been doomed to get pregnant the exact years I have them. There even had been a year during which the supply teachers get pregnant... (and the new one fell sick !).
And whenever I had a teacher, the themes were always boring : Franco (what a shitty symbole of hispanic culture ! A cultural slaughter that lasted such a long time...), Gypsies, Cristobal Colon, shitty popular songs like Hijo de la Luna that I've "studied" 4 times...
The method is always boring, academic... and chaotic at the same time.
Though, it'll be such a waste if I get 5/20 at the final exam, therefore losing several points in the mark just because of my lack of interest concerning spanish.

The TL;DR part is here, without all the excuses exposed :
It seems that Hispanic america is on a way to grow faster than ever, and Argentinia seems to be a beautiful country (esecially Patagonia), therefore I'm not losing all my hope in learning spanish.
Would some spanish-speaking guys, please advise me some good things to read/do/listen in spanish ?
Since I'm on 4chan, I assume that it's likely for us to share some similar tastes, so I accept all the propositions.

TO DO LIST :
-Stop being lazy and pick up a complete grammar book, and start doing rigorously exercises, to fix my broken mental organization (the fondamental point of grammar is that.)
-...

Thanks in advance.

I can help you anon, Mexifag here, inb4 beaner or wetback, because i am not that (not even interested in USA), anyway, if you actually need help tell me.

Anyway, I'm learning Spanish. I'd suggest you do everything you can in it, play games, listen to music, speak (even if to yourself), write it, read it, think in it etc etc. You get the idea. I'm not much of a gamer, but I'm sure you could do some research and find a good Spanish MMORPG or something (if you do I'd love a link)

Also, you being French, have probably heard of Assimil. Well, I'm using it and I love it (even though I don't know French, I'm using the English version). It's nice...if only I could find my damn book. I don't know where my parents put it (yes, I live with my parents, I'm a high school senior just like you). If you don't like that for whatever reason, go to http://fsi-language-courses.org/Content.php and download the Spanish program. It's what the US military used to train diplomats back in the '50s and 60's and it's free now.
Also Assimil can be free, I've found the French base book for Spanish somewhere and I have the audio. I'd be willing to share if you can't find it on torrents.

Buena suerte, y estoy en la actualidad aprendiendo español, pero no en escuela. no me gusta aprender lenguas en escuela.

"dear" should have been querido, can't believe I forgot that word. I learned it from a song :)

Hi, there!
Well, the I would recommend going to a site called Taringa, there you will find a lot of links for movies, cartoons, games and other stuff. Most of it is dubbed in Spanish, or at least has subtitles. I'm currently watching The Lion King in German and I believe watching children shows is the way to go. Mexican  translations for animation series or films are generally great so I highly recommend these. Forget grammar for the time being, just watch about 3 hours a day of entertaining spanish TV for a month or so and then grab your grammar books. Good Luck! If you know of a similar place for French stuff I would be glad to know of it. Take care!

la frase pasada
should also be corrija if you are being polite/using Ud., but corrige is the tú form
(not the mexican dude here)

also, it seems kinda demanding if you don't ask in a question. My native tongue isn't Spanish, so I'm not entirely sure, but it's like saying "correct my mistakes, please" instead of "would you correct my mistakes, please?"

just sort of seems demanding

OP je te recommande un bon Bescherelle tout neuf pour commencer. Ce sera probablement plus clair et complet que tes cours de langues ou même que tes bouquins scolaires (j'ai aussi un mauvais souvenir des cours de langues au lycée).
Après tout est bon à prendre si tu dis avoir un si mauvais niveau. Moi par exemple je lis Picsou en espagnol histoire de me faire du vocabulaire, c'est peut être américain à la base, mais l'important c'est que ce soit traduit.

You'll find plenty of dubbed french movies and animation on lookiz, even if the majority is only subbed.

You can't, that's impossible to find anything Spanish that is interesting.

Thanks guys. I just learned the word for correct to make that sentence so I wasn't exactly sure on the forms of it.

Is there any good Spanish-language music? Like Os Mutantes but in Spanish?
