"Forever" gets the scare quotes because it is implied only up until the Butlerian Jihad?

I upvoted you just for the Dune reference.

    I feel like once they make a mega successful movie of a book we can stop doing the secret handshake.

      The only movie I've ever enjoyed after reading the book was Jurassic Park. I've never seen the Dune movies or most other book-based movies, but honestly The Martian and Project Hail Mary were tempting. I'll probably surrender to one of those two someday.
