    For me, it's Option Two; I pride myself on having a flypaper memory for stuff like films, tv, music, etc. , but I HAVE been known to resort to Google now and again, particularly as I age.
If it's true what they say, that GOD created us in His image, then why should we not love creating, and why should we not continue to do so, as carefully and ethically as we can, on whatever scale we're capable of?

     The choice is simple; refuse to create, and refuse to grow, or build, with care and love.

Sorry to say I depend on Google a lot....since my flypaper memory has come unglued. :teddyr:
Yes,I'm fine....as long as I don't look too closely.

I never use Google for movies . . . IMDB all the way, baby! :teddyr:

Depends on if I can remember it or not  :teddyr:  Usually goes like this:  You know that one movie, with that one guy in it?  Well that guy was also in this other movie  - look that up on IMDB - okay now I remember the guy's name.  Then I look up the list of movies he was in - oh that's the name of the movie I was looking for in the first place!

Even if I do remember something I usually double-check it on Google or IMDb just to make sure I'm not making some stupid mistake.

If I have to do it from memory alone I don't need Google, but I use Google all the time to select a good picture/video in my post.

Depends on memory.  Somethings good, sometimes not so much.  I also use it to narrow titles and selections as I can't recall somethings and do a general narrow of what I know from the results. 
Ah, the good old days.

IMDb for movies unless I forgot the title, then I google the plot.

I'll 'Google' sometimes to fact check my memory.
