George R.R. Martin calls out producers and screenwriters who change things from the books
"Everywhere you look, there are more screenwriters and producers eager to take great stories and “make them their own.” It does not seem to matter whether the source material was written by Stan Lee ... Ian Fleming, Roald Dahl, Ursula K. Le Guin, J.R.R. Tolkien, Mark Twain ... Jane Austen, or… well, anyone. No matter how major a writer it is, no matter how great the book, there always seems to be someone on hand who thinks he can do better, eager to take the story and “improve” on it. “The book is the book, the film is the film,” they will tell you, as if they were saying something profound. Then they make the story their own. They never make it better, though. Nine hundred ninety-nine times out of a thousand, they make it worse"
In 2013, Jocelyn Rojas, a 5-year-old, was kidnapped from her yard by a man offering ice cream from his car. Temar Boggs, 15, and his friend saw what happened and sprang into action, chasing the car on their bicycles.
They followed the car for 15 minutes, until the kidnapper, aware he was being followed, released the girl and drove away.
The quick thinking and courage of these two boys led to the safe return of the young girl, likely saving her life.
