Probably MEDIA_URL isn't set at all in that template. If even the
"localhost:8000" isn't showing up...

I saw that problem once, too. The reason was that the template is
rendered without the proper context. You'll need to pass along a
RequestContext:

from django.template import RequestContext

def your_view(request):
...
return render_to_response(
your_template,
{'some': 'parameter'},
context_instance=RequestContext(request))
