Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here.

I’m a day or so late in posting this, but I think part of that is just the shock of it.

I’ll be the first to admit that my life has been mercifully free of the shadow of death. My friends seem to be cut from fairly healthy and lucky stock for the most part.

So when a peer... someone my age... someone who I count as a friend... is suddenly not there anymore, it’s a shock to the system.

And I know I’m not alone in feeling this way. I’ve heard from many of Adam’s friends in the last week...

... oh, wait. I’m sure 99.9% of you read the headline and said, “Who the fuck is Adam Bicsanszky?” And if you actually said, “Bicsanszky,” you deserve some extra credit. That’s not easy.

Adam was not famous. Adam was not a filmmaker or an entertainer.

But Adam was part of what I consider the fabric of Ain’t It Cool, and that’s why I feel compelled to share this letter from another chat room regular with you.

I've included a photo at the bottom that would have made Adam laugh. I'm sure that's exactly how he would want to be remembered.

Hey guys,

One of you has died.

RIP, Adam Bicsanszky.

If you get a chance to read this on Ain't It Cool News, you'll find that you can't IMDB Adam Bicsanszky. There are no Amazon links, and there are no films you can Netflix.

That's because Adam Bicsanszky was one of us. A major movie fan. The type who regularly sat in a theatre and watched three movies in a row. The type that would read all the movie sites, and maybe occasionally send something in. The sort of person who would attend a 24 hour film marathon, or maybe help organize one.

The type to get a job at a great movie theatre, just so he could get access to the free movies.

At this point, maybe you're wondering what this has to do with Ain't It Cool News. Surely film fans die every day, here in the US as well as Iraq and Afghanastan.

Many people might not know this, but Ain't It Cool News has a chatroom. You can visit it by clicking on the "Chat" link above. It is a wretched hive of scum and villainy. Please be cautious.

Just a joke, of course (and a chance to make a Star Wars reference), but it is a crazy place. It's like a psych ward, and if you stay in there long enough, you'll be unsure if you're one of the doctors or one of the patients.

One of the things that made Adam special was that he tried to document it, keeping a blog for some of the most funny, most asinine, most bizarre things ever said in the chatroom.

And you can read it right here.

One of the things I'd like to tell you about Adam is that he was one of the funniest people I knew. His sense of humor was right in line with mine. He was the first one to jump up with a smart ass comment that would make me laugh out loud.

But I don't have to tell you about it, because he left us with a record of it, right there in the blog.

But, while that is the comedy, you can't really see the emotion. As much of an ass as you'll see him being in those blogs, everyone loved him. When the news of his death several dozen of us that had never met Adam (and a half-dozen who had), were sent reeling.

Obviously we're upset that we'll miss his presence every day. Many of us are coming into the channel commenting that we wished we could tell him something about our day, from a rotten customer, to an excellent movie, or a great football game. More than that, however I think we're all worried that Adam never knew how much he meant to us.

Adam, of course, would laugh and make fun of me if he could read this.

Adam died from the effects of Marfan Syndrome, a fairly rare disease (1 in 5000) that most people don't even know that they have. It seems like he died quickly and painlessly.

When a chatter asked me how I thought Adam would have wanted to die, after my 1st response (suffocating under a pile of strippers), my 2nd one was simply: slowly.

Adam would have looked death in the face and laugh. Surely one of his greatest regrets is not being able to make a joke about his own death, preferably one involving "Deez Nuts".

And so, in lieu of a filmmography, I give you the following links to learn about Adam Bicsanszky.

Adam's blog about #aintitcool.com.

Adam worked at possibly the only Speedway with a Myspace page.

Adam also worked for the Drexel Theatres which hosted his beloved 24-hour Sci-Fi Marathon.

He also wrote a few AICN reviews over the years.

Here’s one.
And another.
And one last one.
