When something is the bomb it rocks. When something bombs it sucks.

No, if the line goes around the block - and then some - it’s a blockbuster. No bomb.

If a movie doesn't live up to expectation its called a "flop".....which is what a bomb that doesn't go off properly does when it hits the ground.

Clearly, a movie is a block, and not all kinds of bombs can bust blocks.
