Midday Monday. Another apology for so many linkdumps is in order, but I'm afraid I don't have time to write it at the moment.
* What does it take to really disappear? Wired investigates faking your own death.
* Tarantino's top-twenty films since he started directing.
* Criterion Collection top-tens from Jonathan Lethem, Steve Buscemi, Robin Wood, and Richard Linklater.
* Usian Bolt sets a new 100m world record. Via MeFi, which immediately accused him of juicing.
* The House Next Door's review of District 9—which incidentally comes to many of the same conclusions as mine—includes a neat look at the six-minute short from Neill Blomkamp that preceded it, Alive in Joburg.
* More bad press for New Jersey's Chris Christie originating from his time on the Morris County Board. Discussion at TPM and MyDD.
* And Steve Benen bemoans 44 years of human slavery under Medicare.
