Some of these acolytes are sentimental for the days of Blockbuster and famed New York institutions like Kim’s Video. Others are so young that Blu-ray Discs, DVDs and VHS tapes represent novelty, not nostalgia.Either way they’re here, at a small, freshly painted storefront in Brooklyn, to buy movies that you hold in your hand, store on a shelf and watch whenever you’d like – the powerful but fickle newer gods of Netflix, Hulu and Prime be damned.
