You're right; of course plenty of people think it is actually a word after Fox marketing department made it up. The real word is tetralogy. Quadrilogy 'seems' right, but it is a mix of Greek and Latin; duology, trilogy and tetralogy being Greek, quadri being Latin. Of course it may end up being a real word if it remains in usage; 'television' is a similar Greek/Latin combination.
While just Googling some of that info I found this humorous quote:

Television? The word is half Greek, half Latin. No good can come of it.

Actually, it looks more like explosive diarrhea, but that's beside the point.

Why didn't they just call it the Alien boxed set? Ah, well. It doesn't really matter. It's a kick-ass set that presents both versions of all four movie in crisp anamorphic widescreen (athough I wish Cameron had supervised a new transfer of Aliens, and The Abyss while he's at it) and booming 5.1 surround sound interpolated from the original six-track with a fantastic plethora of extras for a reasonable price. I suppose complaining about a made up word is nitpicking.

Well, they could've called it The Alien Legacy, but they'd already used that title for the first boxed set. As for the Aliens transfer, I don't know why so many people have a problem with it. Cameron himself has said that it was meant to be grainy, and I found it to be very faithful to the theatrical experience. Digitally removing the grain from Aliens would be like cleaning up the "archive" footage in Woody Allen's Zelig, or transferring O Brother, Where Art Thou directly from the camera negative; it would go against the director's wishes. Just my two cents

I'm not holding my breath. The non-anamorphic has been out in at least 3 different incarnations.

All of which were taken from the same master, correct? I think that, with him back in the chair, they'll do one to put "from James Cameron, director the action-packed Hollywood Blockbuster _____ ______." Fox knows an anamorphic release would sell. I'm sure that we'll see one eventually. But maybe I'm wrong.

Cameron has overseen each transfer. He prefers the non-anamorphic (though not because it's non-anamorphic.)
