What? I must have missed something here? You said if he acted like that toward you... he wouldn't be your friend for long..., acted like what? My friend was born blind, meaning he can't see anything. Because of this the novelty that is TV and movies is lost on him. To him it is just like listening to talk and hearing a bunch of sounds that don't completely make sense to him. If you close your eyes and watch a movie, you can probably try to visualize what might be happening, but my friend has no real picture of what ANYTHING looks like beause he has quite literally never seen a single thing. The only images of people and objects he has in him mind are what he can come up with by feeling them with his hands. I completely understand why he wouldn't enjoy movies. He likes stories as much as the next guy, he loves audiobooks, and he reads in brail.
