Abbie Cornish And The Icecube In A Good Year - Bring The Wine My Lady

Abbie Cornish in A Good Year is awesome. And there is a scene that she has where an icecube plays a major part. So funny, a bit sexy, but all very innocent stuff. Anyway, I was wondering what if this icecube had a life of its own. What story would it tell, especially about its role in this film, and working with gorgeous Abbie Cornish.

Here's Abbie Cornish and the icecube in A Good Year, in the icecube’s first screen appearance. 

Unfortunately, the icecube did not survive its film debut, melting from  the searing heat of Abbie Cornish’s beautiful back. This ecstatic moment  was definitely to be the high point of the icecube’s brief film career.  The poor icecube did appear in a few other productions, alas as a  teaspoon of water, but the critics were not kind to its efforts, or to  its change of state. Most claimed that the icecube’s only solid  performance was in A Good Year. Go figure. 

We can go on with this. A tragic story indeed. For instance, the sad  fate of the icecube is largely unknown, although it was once seen laying  on a corner of Hollywood Boulevard, drowning in its own tears, or  something. 

The icecube, later in its career, was said to have developed severe  stage fright. Sometimes the icecube would freeze up, completely frozen  with fear and unable to deliver its lines, not that it ever got any.  Said the icecube, “Freezing up isn’t good for anybody in this business,  not even an icecube.” 

In A Good Year, the icecube was said to have blown its takes on purpose,  just to spend more time on Abbie Cornish’s sexy back. This behavior  gave the icecube a bad reputation in the industry, but as the icecube  has said in later interviews, “Those moments of film intimacy were  definitely worth it. I got to touch Abbie Cornish’s awesome back, and I  was the only character in the script written to get to do that. There  was a male character in the scene who was assisting me a bit I guess,  but that character was not scripted to actually touch Abbie Cornish’s  character, Christie, but it was me, baby, me all the way.” 

Continued the icecube, “And I played it real cool too. The king of the  cubes. I was the one who got to slide down the delicate indentations of  Abbie Cornish’s magnificent back, like I was on some sexy water slide in  a fantasy waterpark. Me, me, all me. I own this town.” 

Well, needless to say, that was the last interview granted to the  icecube, as his behavior, and his speech, were deemed too rude and  irrational even for the movie industry. 

And so, that was the brief but memorable film career of the icecube, one  of the first icecube film stars, and still acclaimed to this day for  its scene with Abbie Cornish in A Good Year. 

Although the icecube’s bad-cube reputation may have contributed to its  early demise in the movie business, the other stars of the film fared  much better we are happy to say. And Abbie Cornish, one of the sexiest  women in the world, was to soon after quickly become one of the great  leading ladies, and one of the most acclaimed actresses, Australian or  otherwise, of film. 

And that Abbie Cornish should be so celebrated is not by chance, as her  beauty is revelatory, her talent is endlessly dawning, her personality  is sweetly divine, and her sexiness is sensuously astounding, and  nothing short of magnificent.
