some of the "annoying of everyone" by Thorin and Co on their way to the mountain will probably happen in the first movie and some in the second. As I was writing it, it all landed in a lump under my second heading but I do expect that they will at least reach Mirkwood in the first film. I still think it's possible for the first film to end with Barrels out of Bond, especially because I keep associating it in my mind with the blend of optimistic and ominous that we saw in the last scenes of FOTR, with Frodo and Sam looking at Mordor. I can see Bilbo and the dwarves floating down the river, maybe with an ominous glimpse in the distance of the Lonely Mountain wreathed in clouds....or smoke.
Silverlode "Of all faces those of our familiares are the ones both most difficult to play fantastic tricks with, and most difficult really to see with fresh attention. They have become like the things which once attracted us by their glitter, or their colour, or their shape, and we laid hands on them, and then locked them in our hoard, acquired them, and acquiring ceased to look at them. Creative fantasy, because it is mainly trying to do something else [make something new], may open your hoard and let all the locked things fly away like cage-birds. The gems all turn into flowers or flames, and you will be warned that all you had (or knew) was dangerous and potent, not really effectively chained, free and wild; no more yours than they were you." -On Fairy Stories
