I was choked last night when I checked the listings on my t.v. and found a new station called "OutTV", it's being billed as a gay and Lesbian station, they played this movie three times on it last night but unfortunately I don't have a subscription to it. I've tried everywhere to find this movie and I really don't feel like paying 45 dollars off of Amazon.ca for it but I just might have too.

ladymagestik, if you don't mind my asking what country are you in?

At first I was intrigued by its strangeness ; it's not the usual Hwood movie. Then, after seeing other Gus Van Sant movies of the same period ( Mala Noche, Drugstore Cowboy) , I understood it better.

Definitely worth seeing. ;)

I am not sure what difference, if any, there is between this version and the amazon version but the australian on is a lot less expensive and like amazon they accept paypal

I have an old VHS copy of it and I hate the description on the back of the box. It says MOPI is about "two young hustlers who discover friendship and adventure on the twisting turning road of life." Makes it sound like such a fun happy-go-lucky movie which couldn't be further from the truth. To me MOPI is one of the saddest, most depressing, heartbreaking movies I've ever seen. I wonder if the person that wrote that description ever even watched the movie.

I also have a DVD version that came with a book with a collection of interviews and behind the scenes stories about the movie. Also some extras like some great deleted Keanu scenes. He should never be on the cutting room floor:(

There's 12 hours of never-before-used material from MOPI currently being shown as part of an exhibition at the Gagosian Gallery in Beverly Hills.

I read the movie lasts 12 hours. not a dvd a box of dvds...

I find a excerpt of j.franco's "endless Idaho" and I've extract a little part ( an excerpt of an excerpt).

so I think it could be interesting do a comparison between the edited scene in MOPI and the making of the same scene in EI.
the different ways of shooting and playing the same scene is interesting to see the different faces of the same character (Scott Favor) and see what was considered the best forthe film and for the description of Scott's character.

yes, it's interesting to see what the editor chose to use from the raw material filmed... and, as you say, which take was considered the best to define Scott.

at this point, I wish I could see the whole 12 hours of it...

also, from the series 'Scott, we barely knew you' posted by someone long ago at IMDb , another deleted scene :

Scott is one of the best performances of keanu.

days ago I found two excerpts from EI and I lost them, tomorrow I'm going to find them again.

there are more river's scenes than keanu's ones...

that's all I find in my reserch of Endless Idaho...I hope you like them.

p.s. if the links don't work or the videos are deleted, tell me and I'll upload them on my youtube channel for my K's Archive...:)
