Fancy Foods and "Failed" Sympathies
I actually saw the movie at the Alamo and I thought they had melon because I remembered the lamb stew; but no, the Alamo is serving Peeta's strawberry cake and Prue's goat cheese. Too many fancy places to watch movies in Austin!
You have a good point about "failed sympathy"--I was thinking "failed" in the sense of encouraging specific action, but I suppose that wouldn't be failed sympathy in a Smithian sense, as people did feel and react to Kony 2012 and the Capitol citizens did react to Katniss/Peeta. (And should I feel bad as a fellow member of Team Peeta that I see the same as their oppressors and want them to kiss for my amusement?)
