John C. McGinley, aka Dr. Perry Cox on "Scrubs" and as one of the Bobs in
Office Space (in addition to some other great roles in Platoon and numerous other movies)
Intensity was a great TV movie, up until the end, and then it kinda fell apart.
As far as "Desperation" goes, I really liked the book but the TV movie kind of fell flat as the "monster" aspect of the movie increased. It seems like adaptations of King's works often turn out that way for me. The book will be enjoyable all the way through, including the second half where the monster aspect (or whatever you wanna call it) takes over, but when they translate it to the screen, the second half falls flat.
