in the stone giant crash, not Kili. It certainly looked like him, the hair was blonde and I'm sure Thorin called out "Fili!"

Just got back from viewing #4 and while I wait (eagerly!) for gramma's official Geeky Observations, I'll share mine. Feel free to clarify if I got something wrong -- I was really wishing I had pen and paper to scribble my thoughts down.
Thoughts, musings, answers, additions, corrections, or even funny noises welcome!
********************
When Bofur teases Bilbo mercilessly about how Smaug will roast him alive, Bilbo finally concludes “No” and falls flat to the floor. Gandalf pushes past Bofur muttering sarcastically, “Very helpful, Bofur” (or words to that effect). Is that the only time we’ve seen Gandalf be sarcastic?

I hadn't thought of the Isildur/Elrond connection, but I had thought about Thorin melting into the shadows. I thought that moment was especially poignant because there he recognizes the sickness taking hold of Thror and clearly distances himself from it -- yet this is exactly the affliction that we're expecting him to succumb to in DoS or TABA. He didn't learn his lesson well enough.

I watched that whole scene really carefully this time, and found it hard to keep track of which young dwarf was with which group. But I was pretty sure Thorin did yell out "KILI!" when the giant crashed, and quite sure Thorin quietly moaned "Kili" when they were discovered unharmed, and that it was Fili standing over Kili holding Kili's hand just as that scene ends (suggesting it was Kili who had crashed, not Fili). It all goes by so quickly though that the details are hard to see and I could be wrong!

but not sure. I'll have to look out for it on my 3rd viewing. Sounds like something Bofur would say.
Yeah I think Sally was one of the names but I can't remember any others.
It's good they gave the ponies names, to be consistent with FOTR/Bill the Pony.

I think I may of heard the names Daisy and Bongo, not sure though.
May of been said before but I noticed that Oin had picked his squashed ear trumpet and was using it at the Carrock when Thorin was speaking.
Also at the Carrock, Bifur does not know where he is and looking around in shock
I love the way sting stops glowing when Gollum kills the goblin and then Bilbo's expression knowing that Gollum can kill.

If you watch with it in mind, the fact that this is a movie about a family of dwarves and their hired help becomes hilariously clear, as well as giving you the real reason for Thorin's claim about loyalty at the beginning.
They don't harp on about it, but the Longbeard cousins are consistently more stern, serious, and considered warriors (albeit 'old warriors'), whether it be Thorin's stoicism, the obvious importance of the Sons of Fundin, but also the skill and respect of the Sons of Groin - they're so tight with their cousin Thorin they're willing to pick a fight with Elrond's folk.
Thorin tells Gloin to 'get a fire going' multiple times, and it's Oin and Gloin who factor the prophecy and discuss the ravens and thrushes at the end.
There's a lot to like about the other two merchant/tradesman class families as well - Bofur was a good choice for an 'everyman dwarf' who can relate a little easier to Bilbo.
But this is all about the Longbeards and there's tons of little touches to reinforce that.

Directly after they escape Goblintown, as Bilbo shows up. Not sure why though, it can't amplify the sounds anymore.

and also lets Bilbo know that Gollum is not a goblin.
" Well well!", said a voice. "Just look! Bilbo the hobbit on a pony, my dear! Isn't it delicious!"

A couple Bifur observations ....

that drew unexpected laughter at all 5 viewings....
When he walks up to Gandalf in Bag End, presumably attempting to communicate with him, he just kind of grunts incoherently, and then gives him what appears to be a 'derogatory gesture' 
I also love it when Bifur is attempting to roast lettuce over the fire in Rivendell

Where did my reply go in the previous post? *headdesk*
I try again:
I watched that whole scene really carefully this time, and found it hard to keep track of which young dwarf was with which group. But I was pretty sure Thorin did yell out "KILI!" when the giant crashed, and quite sure Thorin quietly moaned "Kili" when they were discovered unharmed, and that it was Fili standing over Kili holding Kili's hand just as that scene ends (suggesting it was Kili who had crashed, not Fili). It all goes by so quickly though that the details are hard to see and I could be wrong!
I thought it was Bombur Fili was helping up in that scene? Or is it something I have missed? I knew it was Fili that was in the group pancaked to the mountain (but sure sounds like Thorin yelling Kili though).

Excellent! I have an excuse for viewing #5. 
I really thought it was Kili, but maybe I just wanted to see the brothers holding hands. I'm going to have to watch that whole sequence even more closely next time.

Bilbo rescuing his doily, doiley, thing with the holes in it, someone saying that it has holes in it... Bilbo announcing that "IT IS CROCHET!"
Bofur going: "Oh, that's a nice game..."
(and I heard this part only the thrid time I saw the film)..."if you got the balls for it..."

I noticed right away (first and only show so far), and remember looking over at my hubby to see if he caught it too (he did).
Do they play croquet in Middle-earth? I sure hope so.
