Answer: When you watch the movie “The Departed” 
We spent $4.75 apiece (cheap tickets courtesy: graduate student status and a valid university ID card) for two movie tickets and $4 (rip-off) for popcorn.
The movie is directed by Martin Scorsese but can easily pass as a Quentin Tarantino product.
There were at least two distinct events in the movie that made the value of our $13.50 seemed much more than $13.50.
Recommendation: Watch it !

$4 for popcorn? Damn. When I was an avid moviegoer I brought a gallon of water and 3 pounds of jerky with me every time in my pant legs.
I’m not sure if you will enjoy it just as much … but if you’d like to see the original film that inspired the Scorcese remake.. look go for “Infernal Affairs” at your local rental store. It’s a Hong Kong blockbuster that spawned a trilogy of movies. “The Departed” is definitely the remake of this film, and it was only a few years ago. Just think… what would inspire Scorcese to so quickly adapt this script for hollywood?
Let me know when you’ve seen it. =)

vince chan: Thanks for the recommendation. I will certainly try to grad a copy of “Internal Affairs”, will keep you posted.
I’ve heard great things about that movie. Gotta go see it.
Holy crap, your student ticket prices are great! Even super discounted tickets through the university are still about 6 bucks.
MsMiniducky: It’s getting even better here…we watched Borat for $4 each tax
