The never ending franchise that is Alien - why do aliens have to be slimy?

Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings Trilogy
Peter Jackson's remake of King Kong
Why does Mr. Jackson insist on making everything twice as long as it should be? 3 hours for King Kong, come on.
I believe he is going to make 3 films out of the hobbit (zzzzzz), which is a shame because its a good book.

I thought the term franchise was to signify the various rights that are sold off (via a franchise system) for the sales and distribution of the associated merchandise... e.g. the toys, t-shits, cups etc.

By coincidence - having said I had never heard the term - someone on the radio referred to the 'Toy Story franchise' this morning. I assume it means a series of films that aren't actual sequels? Anyway - who cares..........?

I actually thought about calling it a trilogy ans then thought there was probably more than three alien films and i don't like the word quadrilogy.

Oh, and Toy Story 3 is a great film. You are not human if your eyes do not fill up in the closing scenes.
