Once you have the media context processor you can make the above link
tag much cleaner like so:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{% block stylesheet
%}{{ MEDIA_URL }}css/base.css{% endblock %}">
That way, when you deploy your app to a production server, you won't
have to go back and change that reference to localhost.

The problem is that there's nothing serving your CSS file :)
Again, see the documentation[1] about how to make Django serve static
files (like your CSS) from your MEDIA_ROOT and MEDIA_URL settings:
BIG DISCLAIMER: This static serving via Django is highly discouraged
in a production environment where you are recommended to use a proper
web server (say, Apache or Lighttpd) to serve such files.
