I'm not sure I think of anything as mindless entertainment. (Okay, maybe Hellboy II.) I watch a lot of crap, but anything that would require me to lobotomize myself to enjoy...I don't enjoy. (See various reaction posts to Torchwood.)
I've only read the first Anne Rice--I found it addictive but not fun to read. I liked her take on the ANGST that is vampires, but it felt like being released from a geas when I got to the end, so I decided not to pick up the next one.
If you want to see some good human/vampire romance, have you seen Near Dark? Even if you don't like the cheesy eighties soundtrack, you have to appreciate young, hot Adrian Pasdar. In tight jeans and a cowboy hat. *rowr*
