No. It's a film adaptation of a short story that appears to basically be romantasy pinnochio fan fic.

Lol, you totally missed the point.
We don't just tell stories, we repeat stories and re-tell stories. It's been happening since before literature or the stage even existed. Even the Odyssey wasn't an entirely original story. Our very first records of literature are literally stories that were told and re-told and re-told and refined and reformed and re-told for generations. Re-telling stories is a fundamental thing common to practically every human. It's what we do and what we are. It's not the end of the world, it's just the mortar that binds our individual experiences into civilization. You don't need to weep, you just need more art and literature in your life, maybe fewer headlines about movies for toddlers.
If you're bored with a story you've seen before, there's a good chance it wasn't made for you, let the people it was made for have it. I think I can safely say that the next Airbud movie wasn't made for you or anyone here. I'm okay letting the kids have their Airbud movie without being snarky about it.
Clarissa Explains It All maybe?
I guess we'll all find out exactly what that loophole is soon enough.
If the sight of living human bodies in any state of dress or undress makes you uncomfortable, maybe that's more your problem than theirs. Your line of etiquette logic is so easily manipulated to abuse and de-humanize people that I can't help but see it as anything but a tool of (usually misogynistic) violence.
Dead or damaged media can repurposed and sold as an new thing. Art and craft items using old vinyl, cassettes, floppy disks, etc. as a medium to create something new is growing in popularity too. If you can find someone making that kind of art at a show, I'm sure some kind of mutually beneficial arrangement could be made so that you both can profit off that dead media.

I have 2 editions of The Gunslinger because Stephen King revised some parts to fit better with the remaining novels. The Gunslinger is a very early work and it shows. I've read the first 3 books of the dark tower series at least twice. Last time through the series, after King "completed" it, I started with the original The Gunslinger and ended the series with the revised edition. The differences are relatively minor and, although I am generally a fan of his, I prefer the rough edges of the original. Reading the original first and the revised edition last felt more like a conclusion and coming full circle than the final book ever could have. Despite the differences, they still feel like the same book to me.
