I under stand now. Your memory is not as fine tuned as chucks.
I, on the other hand, can barely remember my name. I am thankful for Google search whenever I get one of these Whatzits.
There are exceptions. When I saw the blue glow Rufus posted my mind pictured the reactor at UCI. It had the same blue glow.

My memory of that movie, which has been a top favorite of mine since it came out, like of the novel, was more one of the emotional impact and poignancy of its various key vignettes and its overall dignity and purpose, as apparent to me. Some details became a little obscure, like Jem and Dill's names, but I sure remembered Boo Radley .

And of course, who can forget Atticus, as interpreted by Mr. Peck.
All wonderful. IMHO.

Nope. Not at all, necessarily.

Can't trust my TV set
It's screaming things I'd like to forget
World's on fire, it's burnin' down
Move the channel as it comes to town
Boys will be boys, it's a powerful thing
Better learn how to swim or learn how to drink
Cops and robbers, I can't tell 'em apart
It's a systematic figure that we're passing as art

Depends. Some I remember, some are things I happened on. I was re-watching the first two seasons of Sling and Arrows and (I think) Murph's post from the Tempest popped up in the course of the show. I remembered Walter Pidgeon's line from Forbidden planet. I always double check to get specifics from wikipedia or google.

Images stick, if a phrase catches my attention, it sticks, melodies that catch my attention stick. Voices stick, I can usually identify an actor from their voice/speaking pattern even if they are 20+ years difference in time. Names don't stick. I can see a face and remember "I know who that is" but I can't pull up a name to match. Hell, I've forgotten someones name within minutes of meeting them, can be quite embarrassing.

Google is very good at picking up text references. Less so for music. Images are only good at exact matches of published stuff. A whatzit of a photo or illustration is very hard to search unless you have a starting point in terms of scale. Even text searches usually require additional cross references. A lot of sh*t on the net is just plain wrong. There is almost no vetting and people are now deliberately posting incorrect information.

I actually have real memories going back to when I was two years old.
