He does not like the elves (MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS IF HAVEN"T READ BOOK)

When Erebor was taken and the Dwarves tried to retake Moiria(?) they recieved no help from anyone. Thranduil (in the movie) was right there on the ridge overlooking Erebor and turned away, leaving the dwarves to fend for themselves. So Thorin hates everything about them. By his taking Orcrist afterall, I think it showed he IS able to put his hard feelings aside in some instances and can be reasonable. Perhaps PJ did this as a sublte way to show viewers that even tho Thorin goes a bit whacky at the end with his gold-lust, there is still hope for him yet.
Speaking of the gold-lust, does anyone feel it will be a lust for the gold that affects him or just for the Arkenstone itself, which represents Erebor and the throne--over which he is most obsessive? I think it is being able to reclaim Erebor and the throne that really drives him more at this point, albeit, that may well change in the next installments.

They're trying to emphasize the Dwarf vs. Elf friction.

There was an earlier thread where a poster got rather upset about reading something in the thread that he didn't know.
