A Lynchian Divorce

David Lynch, who has made a name for himself telling the stories of strange people from even stranger places, is entering familiar territory.

The Twin Peaks creator has filed for divorce from his third wife, Mary Sweeney. The duo, longtime colleagues and the parents of a 14-year-old son, Riley Sweeney Lynch, were only married for a month.

Lynch cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split, according to the petition filed Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court.

Sweeney's first major collaboration with Lynch was as an assistant editor on 1986's Blue Velvet. Over the next 20 years she edited episodes of Twin Peaks and the films Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, Lost Highway and The Straight Story, which she also co-wrote.

Not to make things weird or anything, Sweeney is also producing Lynch's next big-screen venture, Inland Empire which, unlike some of the director's other projects, is a mystery about a woman in trouble. The film, not finished in time for Cannes, will likely screen at the Venice Film Festival this summer, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Inland Empire stars Laura Dern, Jeremy Irons and Harry Dean Stanton.

Lynch was married twice between 1967 and 1987 with each union ending in divorce, and then he romanced Blue Velvet star Isabella Rossellini for awhile before hooking up with Sweeney.

But although the bell is tolling for Lynch's latest marriage, another type of ringing is filling the air.

The film noir auteur introduced Monday a line of ringtones, wallpapers and other cell phone accoutrements adapted from his TV series, films and the recesses of his mind. Products available for downloading via www.DavidLynch.com include tones from his animated Web series Dumbland, Eraserhead sound effects and snippets of music that Lynch composed himself. The selection will be updated every two months and will eventually offer video ringtones and video wallpapers for your eerie viewing pleasure.

"Cell phones are a hand-held theater," Lynch said in a statement. "I like to experiment with sound and music ringtones and this is an opportunity to create something different. Since Dumbland came out people expressed liking certain sounds and sentences from Dumbland--they get a kick out of that. The technology is now there so it's like an experiment to see what we can put through the phone when it rings."

Adapting creative content for the small (and smaller) screen is nothing new for Lynch. He started his Website in 2001 to showcase trailers for his short and feature-length films as well as videos he wrote, directed and produced expressly for Internet viewing.
