The body in the desert is...

After rewatching this film, I just realized that the body buried in the desert is Pheonix. Duh! Now the dialogue in that scene, and at the end of the film, makes more sense.

Also, after rewatching, I have realized that this is a terrible movie. Not a "so bad it's great" terrible, but just plain terrible. I've come to realize that the film is exactly what it seems on the exterior: A group of friends devoted time, talent and money to elaborating a joke that was only meant to be funny within that circle of friends.

And as that, I can appreciate this film, because who among us hasn't devoted a little too much time to a stupid joke that only meant something within our circle?
