F!S Anon Meme (the ??th)


Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.

Some ground rules:
1. Going anon is encouraged but not absolutely required (for those who struggle with recaptchas and stuff).
2. No autoplaying/autolooping embeds, or embeds that cover/stretch the screen.
3. No dropping personal info or IRL contact info, etc.

That's about it, though!

Please Help Me Identify This Movie

Okay, so I've tried googling the premise of this movie for like the past two days and for some reason I still haven't been able to find it even though the situation is unique enough that I would think it wouldn't be too hard to locate.

I'm pretty sure I watched this movie like ten times when I was a kid and if had to guess, I would say it came out in the late 90s or maybe the early 2000s. It was about this man who somehow comes across a guy who is an alien. I'm pretty sure the alien was very human-like. They began to live together and there were whacky shenannagins happening, and the guy was kind of annoyed by the alien's presence but in the end he realizes how much he cares for his alien friend when he has to rescue him from being dissected by the government. Looking back on it, they were probably my first slash ship. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Was it the My Favorite Martian movie?

Seconding this. It certainly sounds like it, and it's the only movie I can think of that fits the bill from the 1990s.

Second guess would be Paul, but that came out like two years ago, so the timeframe is all wrong.

Did it have a part where the alien is surprised that they still have trees, and then asks something along the lines of "Why do you worship dead tress on christmas?" or something like that?

some of it sounds like Man who Fell to Earth, but that was not so much hijinks as just sad and weird.

(yeah I forgot to anon, oops)

There are three films that come to mind.

My Favorite Martian (1991)
Zoolander (2001)
K-PAX (2001) -probably not this one, since it doesn't seem to be whacky hijinks, but still worth mentioning.

I'm sorry, but what version of Zoolander did you watch? *mind boggles*
