Please ask him if there's any flashbacks involving Thrain, perhaps added to the start of the film or during the DG sequences? I'm thinking namely him giving the map and key to Gandalf and him going missing after Azanulbizar. Unfortunately I don't have an account.
I though this comment interesting: "The new scenes are nice. There's a bit too much Arkenstone though.". I wonder if he's referring to the film in general, or if new scenes relating to the Arkenstone are added? Do Gandalf and Thrain discuss it I wonder?

So sad to hear what he had to say...
Concerning mirkwood: he retweeted saying "one new scene, involving the crossing of a river (which we've seen a chunk of already) So NO WHITE STAG, nothing?!  Mirkwood was what I wanted extended the most
Concerning Beorn: One new Scene. A new intro to him (he's chopping wood. Again only one scene

It's still possible the white stag is in and is a part of that scene.

It was in the trailer, which was completed after the film was rated.

It just feels like something he would've mentioned. But maybe he has to be a bit vague for spoilers.

Yeah perhaps again the Beorn Gandalf exchange is part of the new introduction?

But you're right it's definitely in as it was in the trailer.

because Gandalf isn't wearing his hat during the new introduction.
And I'm quite confident about the Mirkwood sequence consisting of
more than just the enchanted stream.
Jed Brophy's recent interview reassures me.

I got the impression this chap isn't quite as familiar with the film as the rest of us - heck, he may only have seen it once, and think of how many films he must see working on Empire. This may also explain his Arkenstone comment. Perhaps there is little new material on the Arkenstone, and he just thinks there is because he forgot how prominent it was in the film in the first place?

He says its "about 20 minutes longer"

So either: (1) he is approximating and is off considerably; (2) what we have been told is not true (which I don't believe to be case); or (3) he didn't actually see all of it (which doesn't make sense).

Why would they have Thrain with Gandalf for most of the DG scenes then digitally remove him for the EE? There have been odd occasions when the EE scenes have been altered from the TC, but usually it's just additions. Wonder what the logic behind that is?

We shall soon find out.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that PJ is aware of how awesome that shot of arrow pulling Thorin and bewildered looking Bilbo really is, and thus, wouldn't be so cruel as to not reinstate it.

Perhaps they wanted Gandalf to "go in alone" and thought it would raise the tension. I really can't think of many reasons why, especially not having seen the alternate version.

I don't think he's as fanatical as us about the additions. He may have overlooked the White Stag. TORN reported that a piece of it was shown at Comic Con, I doubt they'd do that if it wasn't included.

When we say 'new scenes', he may think we literally mean new scenes, as in * on the menu (as opposed to **). It's possible the stag bit is an extension to an existing scene, ditto Beorn talking with Gandalf.

Especially regarding the Gandalf Beorn scene since it's an extension of the scene where they hop aboard the ponies.
