If I were her partner, I’d immediately change my nickname to “The Dark.” Not speaking for anyone else.

I doubt it, if it’s a loose adaptation.

I don’t know that you can call Tsai an unhyphenated Taiwanese director. Though he’s been based in Taiwan for 43 years, to my knowledge he hasn’t become a citizen. He was born in Malaysia and lived there till the age of 20.

She’d better cash it fast. Trump has a reputation for not paying.

Ponies are small horses, not underage horses. The human analogue would be wanting to fuck a dwarf or midget.
