The humour is only misogynist if he is being serious, which clearly he isn't.

Certain types of things are misogynistic even when they're meant as humor. The humor here is clearly misogynistic. Clearly he is not being serious about keeping women tied up in his basement, but putting it forward as a joke is misogynistic. And humor is often used as cover for bigotry, such as in various comedians' routines -fake bigotry that really is real bigotry.

What utter twaddle.

So The Great Dictator is a pro-fascist film?

 Come on Bingo.

Are you really comparing the satire of Charlie FREAKING Chaplin, one of the greatest comedians of all time, to this Star Wars dude's non-sequitor 'jokes' about torturing women in his basement?

It's disturbing to see people being ok with the misogyny in the review. 

 I for one don't find violence/murder agaist women jokes to be funny. I also tend not to laugh at jokes about lynchings or child abuse... but that may just be me.

::nods:: Admiral Piett, or TheBoost as he calls himself here, gets what I'm talking about. As does Frink, judging from a post above.
