"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.

OP refers to details from the book that are not in either film.

“Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind”…

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.

Especially when the movie is over forty years old.
