Check this site out, it is the movie that we spoke about in class. It is an exploitation movie and the wikipedia article explains it well. There is also an interview with Tarantino in the new GQ, he explains it very well. Tarantino himself is crazy and unique mind to read about. His methods of mayham are not just careless and pointless, they result in beautiful films. His past films to me are the best movies that have been made since I have been alive. This film is unique thought because it is a dedication to the old movies of the past. Tarantino studied the films and he created his own version. It does not mean that these films are bad because they are exploitation films. Things do not always have to be bad because they are popular and are not way different from other things.

I think you make a good point, when you claim that exploitation movies don't have to be "bad" (to be good?) Exploitation movies have evolved from the 50s into a genre, and as such they exist as works of art in their own right. Simple distinctions of good or bad may be no longer relevant, even though the tendency of the Internet is often to encourage a thumbs up or thumbs down mentality.
