What in God's name is The Super 8 Society?
Well, thanks for asking!
The Super 8 Society exists to appreciate and preserve the works of Burton Leon Reynolds.
The Society was created in the late nineteen hundred and nineties on the campus of the University of Georgia by a group of film and stunt enthusiasts.
Check out our blog below for all the latest on Burt Reynolds.
Onstage!
The Under-The-Bridge Players (Burt's theater company) just finished a run of "The Gin Game", directed by Dr. Reynolds himself. The play was written by D.L. Coburn - the story of two senior citizens coming to terms with being OLD and LONELY - two things Reynolds knows nothing about. It must have been almost impossible for him to transfer these foreign states into his steeled mind, and even tougher to then decipher for his underlings to understand... but never-the-less Reynolds persevered and his audience was the better for it.Read up here in Carol Saunders article for the TC Palm.

- Let me start out by saying Burt Reynolds is THE definition of a real man... I imagine his bushy mustache rubbing up against the side of my face would the the most exhilarating experience!!! I believe given the right circumstances, he'd give a guy like me a chance!!

- Hi, cousin Burt. Best to you on this most recent upset. Your time is not up yet on this mortal plane, so pray that you don't just survive, but thrive. Our familial ancestor, Samuel Clemens, had a lot of setbacks during his tenure, but is still remembered for his outstanding literary contributions.

- God speed Burt Reynolds; good luck in Rehab. I hope that you come out clean with no problems. I'd love to see another "Smokie and the Bandit" movie---YES---even at your age. I am 70 and we old codgers need some INSPIRATION, so GET WELL SOON.
I live in Odessa, Fl. so we are almost neighbors. You can do it!!
