Guys Seymore Butts just launched an adult production service company and their site (www.shootinmexico.com) previews beautiful locations especially outdoors similar to Ibiza, Virgin Islands for shooting in Mexico. Anyones interested like me who is sick of seeing the same houses, villas, pools in every production ? Edited by - Xanderian on Feb 28 2011
Why would anyone go to Mexico these days? That's one of the most dangerous countries in the western hemisphere. Between drug cartels, gangs, terrorism, diseases, and the desperately poor citizens doing whatever they can to survive. I wouldn't go to Mexico if my life depended on it. Why not go to Belize instead? Edited by - celluloidferox on 2/28/2011 12:06:10 PM
eh, I've got several friends from Mexico and not ALL parts are bad. The drug corridors and border towns are where a lot of the violence is happening. Mexico City seems like an awesome place from what I've seen and heard. I've also got friends from my area in Texas who have traveled (by car, mind you) down to Mexico from the Houston area and some have said that the violence is greatly exaggerated in the US media. Mexico City sounds like a more tolerant, culturally diverse, and pleasant place to live than most large cities in America. Plus, the women are amaaaazing.
Greatly exaggerated until they're shot by bandits. Just like there are some neighbourhoods you shouldn't go to, it's not prudent to take a cross-country trip. If you're in Cancun, Cabo, or Acapulco then it's great but don't be leaving the vicinity. Mexico City isn't that safe. My friend got jacked by a fake taxi driver.
Well like you just said, there's bad places and good places in the region and the cities. With a city of 22 million people, there's gonna be crime and jackings and shit. There's places in Houston I wouldn't venture into, but that doesn't taint the good stuff in the city or the city as a whole though. What part of Mexico City was your friend in? and DF seems pretty goddamn badass.
Ah ok. I'm not familiar with that location but I know 5 people that go to and live in the area of Universidad Iberoamericana and that's a relatively good area from what I've been told and what I've seen of it online. It's kinda funny in a way that the University I go to in my area of the state is smack dab in the middle of the ghetto. Literally, you'll have this upscale and pristine University campus and then across the street you have rundown houses and really bad, low-income neighborhoods where people get shot and shit and the crime rate is very high. It's surreal almost. Sorry for the derail, though. Back to Mexico.
