@writergeekrhw Camel-humping scene. Boring exposition with camels (etc.) getting it on in the background. E.g., Littlefinger + lesbians. Attributed to Humphrey Bogart, I believe.

@writergeekrhw “…the Pope in the Pool gives us something to look at that takes the sting out of telling us what we need to know. And does so in a lively and entertaining way.” (Blake Snyder, Save the Cat, p. 125)

@writergeekrhw 'Indeed Humphrey Bogart is reputed to have said: "If I ever have exposition to say, I pray to God that in the back of the shot they've got two camels fucking."'

@LauriDonahue @writergeekrhw I'm a fan of sexposition, especially for shows like Thrones that use it so gratuitously
