As one of the "crazies", I think you are absolutely correct, for the most part.

I don't know if it makes one crazy to hope that all of the more iconic and famous scenes from the books remain very close to the books narrative in how they are portrayed on film. That said, while it certainly isn't needed for Peter to give huge parts of the film ahead of time, it probably is a good idea to get any really noticable changes and or ommissions out there on the table for exactly the reasons you stated. Time is a powerful Force, and it can ease people into acceptance who might otherwise be given over to outrage regarding certain alterations. The dwarves appearances didn't bother me much, aside from Dwalin being bald and not having a blue-grey beard, and Thorin's beard being too short (well, that axe bit in Bifur's skull is a bit much, but I can live with him having it if he can). But any big alterations to the Smaug conversation, or to Gandalf's magical defenses/attacks against the goblins and wargs. . . or massive structural changes like the fact that we won't see Thranduil until film 2! . . . yeah, best to give a little forewarning about such things. I think its best that PJ release lots of info, because many people tend to have such crazy expectations or off the cuff reactions, that i think that they would not enjoy the movie if they went in not aware of what to expect. At least with all these tid bits, people can have time to adapt themselves to something they would not like at first and get use to or warm up to the idea. For instance, the look of the Dwarves. I feel like many people would have probably walk out of the movie theater at with the first appearance of some of these Dwarves...lol "Hear me, hounds of Sauron, Gandalf is here! Fly if you value your foul skins, I will shrivel you from tail to snout if you step within this circle!" "Do not be to eager to deal out death in judgement. Even the very wise cannot see all ends."

Well ,I didnt refer to anyone as "Crazies". I Just meant that some expectations can be Crazy. But maybe Crazy wasnt the best word.
