Talk:Jerome Bixby

It's a very good life
"It's a Good Life" was remade for "Twilight Zone: The Movie" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086491/ and a sequel titled "It's Still a Good Life" http://www.scifi.com/sfw/issue304/interview2.html for SciFi Channel's "The Twilight Zone" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0318252/ with Bill Mumy (the kid in the original) as an adult Anthony with a daughter (played by Mumy's daughter) who has the same powers young Anthony did.

"It's Still a Good Life" is the only sequel to an episode of the original "The Twilight Zone" series.

Is this a style thing?
". . .was a United States short story writer. . ."

Would "was a France short story writer" or "was a Portugal short story writer" make any sense? "United States short story writer" certainly doesn't sound right.

Oddly enough, "was a US short story writer" does. 139.139.67.70 15:23, 12 June 2007 (UTC)Dan

Last Great? Work
The note that "The Man From Earth" is Bixby's last Great work is entirely slanted. His last work possibly but .. great...? Entirely subjective. This is clearly not NPOV. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.129.121.189 (talk) 12:58, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Is "The Man From Earth" movie the building block for the new television series, "New Amsterdam"?
There are too many simularities in the new television series, "New Amsterdam," for it not to have been spawned from Bixby's story. (207.193.29.237 (talk) 02:24, 6 April 2008 (UTC))

not in Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983)
and was included in Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983) -- this is incorrect. One of the four stories in the movie was called "The Cornfield" that was radically different in plot, tone, and quality from Bixby's story. e.g., in the movie Anthony, who has killed his real parents and has taken away his sister's mouth, becomes a hero at the end as he turns the cornfield pretty colors while driving to town with his teacher who convinced him to be nice. -- Jibal (talk) 04:28, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
