Spy - Everywhere

At first, I was extremely skeptical about this comedy starring Melissa McCarthy, mainly because I feared it would be full of humor centered around her weight and oh, ho ho, isn't it funny to see her do physical things! But I gotta say, the trailer actually made me laugh, ("You're crying now!" "I'M NOT!") and also, Jason Fucking Statham is in it. Enough said.

Entourage - Everywhere

So, do you think the negative reviews of this HBO series-to-movie will include comments about how old the actors look, and how they should all be acting their ages? HA HA HA HA. Of course not!

I gave up on the series about two seasons in because watching marginally attractive men have sex with an endless stream of insanely attractive women got...*yawn*, and the entertainment industry isn't nearly as interesting as the entertainment industry seems to think it is. And also, Jeremy Piven is the actor equivalent of chewing on tin foil. But go do you, my movie-going bros!

Results - Embarcadero

Comedy starring Cobie Smulders and Guy Pearce as two trainers at a Texas gym called Power 4 Life, and Kevin Corrigan as a rich shlub who seeks out their help in changing his life. If you've ever worked out at a gym, you know they can be hilarious places, so why aren't there more comedies set in them?

When Marnie Was There - Embarcadero

New animated film from Japanese anime giants Studio Ghibli centers 12-year-old orphan Anna, her summer in a seaside town, and the friendship she has with a mysterious girl named Marnie. The Embarcadero is showing both the original Japanese version with subtitles, as well as the English dubbed version, which includes the voices of Kiernan Shipka, John C. Reilly, Geena Davis, and Kathy Bates.

Police Story: Lockdown - 4 Star

Go to the 4 Star before they sell it and it turns into another giant box of condos! This week they're showing Jackie Chan's latest, a reboot of his Police Story franchise. However, keep in mind that Jackie Chan is now 61, and while he may still be spry, he's not the lunatic risk-taker he used to be. This film is more drama than stunts.

SF Docfest - Roxie, Brava, and Vogue Theaters

The 14th annual San Francisco Documentary Film Festival kicked off last night and continues through June 18th. There are some pretty great looking movies playing, including Finders Keepers, about a used grill, a human foot, and an amputee (really); Stink!, about the hidden chemical in...everything; and the Batkid documentary Batkid Begins. Complete schedule here.

Recology (not to be confused with Vibeology, the study of the chemistry between you and me) rejoices as Proposition A goes down in flames, while Coit Tower's Proposition B wins. Let's see what went down:

Prop A, the garbage proposal, was rejected by 77 percent of city voters. The measure would have required Recology, San Francisco's waste services, to be "put up for competitive bidding. "We have the most successful system in the country and there's no reason to mess with it," chirped Jordan Curley, campaign manager for No on A.

Also, Coit Tower just got a little more boring for tourists and rich people who attend VIP parties. Prop B just barely passed last night, with unofficial results saying that 54 percent of city voters gave it the thumbs up. The measure places limits on food vendors, gift shops, and after-hour VIP parties. (Sorry, Zynga, you'll have to find another venue for a whisky-tini party!) Also, revenue accrued from the tower will be spent on preservation of the historic Depression-era murals. This comes on the heels of Mayor Ed Lee's announcement of adding a $1.7 million fund to repair Coit Tower two weeks ago. So, you know, those murals better sparkle and shine.

In other election news, Dianne Feinstein will (probably) continue to rule the land. Mark Leno still shines. Jackie Speier dazzles her audience. And Proposition 29, the cigarette tax, is still too close to call! But more on that later...

Sacramento Bee and most of the major networks are reporting that the GOP will win the House majority. What's more, they're looking good in the Senate, but the night is still young. Unlike Republicans. Ba-dum-bum. [Sacto Bee]

While SFist will bring you election 2010 updates as soon as the numbers start rolling in, you can also keep track online. Behold: California state results page is a good option; here's the link for San Francisco's results. You can also watch live coverage on SFGTV on cable channel 26.

Other sites (SF Appeal, Bay Citizen, East Bay Express, SFGate, etc.) will have continuing coverage as well. Also, get out there and vote!

With fewer than 25% of registered voters turning out for the election, here's how things went down after Tuesday's primary election.

San Francisco measures:

Prop A - School Facilities Special Tax: pass (70% yes, 30% no)

Prop B - Earthquake & Emergency Response Bond: pass (79% yes, 21% no)

Prop C - Film Commission: fail (54% no, 46% yes)

Prop D - Retirement Benefit Costs: pass (78% yes, 22% no)

Prop E - Police Budget Line Item: pass (56% yes, 44% no)

Prop F - Renters' Financial Hardship: fail (57% no, 43% yes)

Prop G - Transbay Transit Center: pass (84% yes, 16% no)

Statewide Propositions:

Here's how things went down last night after the returns came in. Shall we?

San Francisco District Attorney Kamala Harris wins. She'll get the Dem nod in the attorney general race. She creamed Silicon Valley executive Steve Kelly with much of the vote.

Gavin Newsom wins. The San Francisco Mayor beat out Los Angeles City Councilwoman Janice Hahn. Newsom maintained a big lead throughout the night. He'll go up against incumbent Lt. Gov Abel Maldonado and "against Meg Whitman's credit card" in November.

Meg Whitman, who spent $71 million of her own money in this election, could very well be your next California Governor. She snatched the Republican gubernatorial nomination from Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner with ease. She'll face off with Jerry Brown for the golden throne in Sacramento.

Former Hewlett-Packard CEO and Tea Party sympathizer Carley Fiorina won the Republican U.S. Senate nomination. She'll face off against Barbara Boxer come November.

PG&E, who spent $46 million on an attempt to limit local governments to enter the electricity business, is sad this morning. Prop 16 was "narrowly" defeated.

We'll have more election updates later today.

The votes are in. Four out of five propositions passed. Here's how things went down after yesterday's election:

Proposition A - Budget Process
*Yes 46,023 (68.88 %)

Proposition B - Aides to the Supervisors

*No 36,995 (54.09 %)

Proposition E - Bans New Ads on City Owned Property

No 28,868 (42.51 %)

Twin Peaks and Diamond Heights neighborhoods saw the highest voter turnout in SF, with 20.44% and 19.86% of registered voters receiving "I Voted" stickers, respectively. Bayview/Hunters Point saw the lowest turnout at only 9.99%.

More on yesterday's election results (Maine repeals gay marriage! Garamendi nabs East Bay House Seat!) later in the day.

Today City Attorney Dennis Herrera today, along with Los Angeles City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo and Santa Clara County Counsel Anne C. Ravel, filed "a petition for a writ of mandate with the California Supreme Court to invalidate Proposition 8, an initiative constitutional amendment that intends to strip gay and lesbian citizens of their fundamental right to marry in California."

That is to say, it's on. In Herrera's own words:

The issue before the court today is of far greater consequence than marriage equality alone ... Equal protection of the laws is not merely the cornerstone of the California Constitution, it is what separates constitutional democracy from mob rule tyranny. If allowed to stand, Prop 8 so devastates the principle of equal protection that it endangers the fundamental rights of any potential electoral minority -- even for protected classes based on race, religion, national origin and gender. The proponents of Prop 8 waged a ruthless campaign of falsehood and fear, funded by millions of dollars from out-of-state interest groups. Make no mistake that their success in California has dramatically raised the stakes. What began as a struggle for marriage equality is today a fight for equality itself. I am confident that our high court will again demonstrate its principled independence in recognizing this danger, and in reasserting our constitution's promise of equality under the law.

Looks like it's going to be a long battle ahead of us. Stay tuned. (To read the press release in its entirety, follow the jump.)

These "key" propositions have been called, with no real surprises. (Although the proposition asking voters to rename of the San Francisco sewage treatment facility in honor of George W. Bush went down in flames.)

Proposition H (Renewable Electricity)
Yes: 86,859 (40.9%)
*No: 125,639 (59.1%)

Proposition K (Prostitution Decriminalization)

Yes: 89,833 (42.4%)
*No: 121,815 (57.6%)

Proposition R (George Bush Sewage Plant Renaming)

Yes: 63,879 (30.9%)
*No: 143,087 (69.1%)

Proposition V Junior R.O.T.C.

*Yes: 107,846 (53.2%)
No: 94,882 (46.8%)
